I also modified my recipe almost exactly like the other poster (peppercorns and a sprig of dill in the jar), and I cut the sugar down to 2 Tbsp. b/c I don't like them quite that sweet. These are so simple and delish! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!

I have modifeid this recipe slightly and gotten great feedback, "Better than store bought . . . .delicious!" I add 5 - 8 Peppercorns. You can't add too much garlic, 12 cloves. Six Kirbys makes three wide mouth pints. In addition to Dill Seed, a good size sprig of frozen fresh dill in each jar is placed in before pouring boiling liquid and removed before serving. Ready in less than two hours. Superb and highly recommended! They have kept for three to four weeks so far.
