Salt Brined the first batch of my wife's pickling cucumbers:

Garden cucs

4.25% Salt Brine (2 Tbsp sea salt to 1 Qt H2O) Cloves Star Anise Allspice Berries Peppercorns

Fresh Horseradish Leaves + Bay Leaves + Whole Cherries = Tannins because there is nothing sadder than a mushy pickle.

Thanks! We'll see how they turn out. I typically use wild mustang grapes and grape leaves and but I have not foraged any this year. One of my wife's raised beds has horseradish aplenty. The leaves are allegedly tannin heavy, so I figured, why not? Tossed in some whole cherries and bay because one can never have too many tannins.
