Crazy Garlicky Half Sours


Here is my pickle creation. It is soooooo goooood! I basically used this recipe from Tommy J's Kitchen blog I found online at Tommy J's Kitchen. I am a garlic lover and went crazy with the garlic. The next time I do this I would probably do one garlic per cucumber but maybe those non garlic lovers can do with just 2 for about 5 cucumbers.
UPDATE: So I ate some pickles at my friend Eugene's house and as I was tasting it I noticed a familiar taste but couldn't quite place it. He had added cinnamon to his pickle recipe! It was quite good.
This is the new pickle recipe:
1 tsp. whole coriander seeds
1 tsp. brown mustard seeds
2-3 whole allspice
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. black pepper corns
1/2 tsp. dill seeds
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 – 2 Tbsp. dill weed
2 or 3 pieces broken dried bay leaf
4 – 6 cloves garlic, OR basically 1 small garlic per cucumber
¼ cup pickling salt
4 cups water
8 or 9 pickling cucumbers of any variety
(My favorite is the mediterranean cucumbers)
