First, you need some pickling cucumbers. Simmer in vinegar with spices such as allspice, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, coriander, peppercorns and mustard seeds. You can buy these spices pre-packaged, too.

Homemade pickles are simple. All pickles are, is cut up cucumbers marinated for a very long time in a pickle jar and vinegar and pickling spices. Homemade ones are the best.

First buy a jar of pickles, and eat them. Than buy some cucumbers, cut them up and put them in the same jar. Do not pour the old pickle juice out of thejar, this is a preservative. Put the jar in the fridge and wait, and you will have pickles.
