I always add a Bruised Garlic clove or two along with the Dill per Quart. I have added per Quart of Pickles...1tsp Black Peppercorns,1tsp Coriander Seed, 1tsp Mustard Seed, 1tsp Allspice Berries and a crumbled Bay Leaf. Many recipes call for the addition of 1tsp Juniper Berries, 1tsp Dill Seed, 2-3ea Cardamom Pods, 2-3ea Whole Cloves and 1/2ea Cinnamon Stick but I have never tried these...JJ
