Made a bigger batch than usual this time, 24 jars total. Besides pickles (which I've made lots of), I also tried garlic, radishes, bell pepper and cabbage for this round.

I love the colour of the red cabbage especially. Can't wait to try them in a few weeks

How long did it take you to get your pickle juice ratios where you wanted them? I just tried a new pickle brand and the juice went so overly heavy on the mustard seed that I was sweating it off after.

Interesting, I've had no such issues so far. The few batches I've made, I loosely followed the recipe but mostly eyeballed the amount, and it's always come out tasty. I've yet to try this round, though

Nice! I've helped with fruit preserves way back in the day but never tried my hand at pickling (except in Stardew Valley), definitely want to give it a shot someday though.
