• These are brining sour pickles, so no vinegar is needed (optional). In making these pickles, it is important that you do not used mixed pickling spices, because the cinnamon, cloves, all spice and other sweetly aromatic spices in them will detract from the pickles' flavor. Also, it is important that you do not use iodized salt in the process, as that will leave a bitter aftertaste.
