I love pickles- heck, I like just about all things in vinegar- like olives etc.
I have been trying for several years to make home made dill pickles. I have tried several recipes from sources that ought to be reliable. The results are never what I wanted.
I have thought they were way too vinegary and I've tried reducing the ratio of vinegar to water. I have tried adding more garlic. From time to time I have had to use dill weed like in spice jars instead of dill sprigs.
Aside from any tips... what kind of vinegar do you use? Is it the plain white (acetic acid) or perhaps the apple cider vinegar? Or wine vinegar, or what?
If you have successful recipies to pass on I would appreciate it.
