Dill Pickle Verdict; (and other stuff, of course!)

Well, just over a week ago, I did my first attempt at
PICKLED CUCUMBERS....the verdict...
Hmmmmm....it just seems to be missing something. Not bad-but-missing something....
Here is the basic recipe I used:

750g Lebanese cucumbers
2/3 cup fresh dill
2 tsp lack peppercorns
750ml (3Cups) water
125ml (1/2Cup) white wine vinegar
1.5 tsp salt

Wash and dry cucs....slice (I cut into segments).
Layer in a dry 3L (12 C) jar alternately w/ dill and peppercorns.
Combine water, vinegar & salt in saucepan. Boil then pour over cucs in the jar. Seal immediately.

Now, I did not have fresh dill-so I used dry.....(next time I’ll use fresh!) and I didn’t have a 3L jar....so had to scale everything down-total guess work. I added garlic too....but I’m thinking I needed more vinegar, more garlic and maybe something else....any guesses?

In other news....I am quite sore today....my chest & bis (yes Kek-I too have sore bis! Yay!), but also my lower back is not happy...I’m thinking of a nice warm bubble bath later-ahhhhh-yep, I’m sure that is what the doctor would order!

Hope you all are having a pleasant weekend!
Cheers!
