Pickling seasoning homemade
Dill: In place of the dill seeds, you can substitute 5 heads of fresh dill (the yellow flower portion) or 2 teaspoons dried dillweed for each jar (10 teaspoons total). Make your own pickling mix to use in pickling vegetables. This fragrant combination of dried herbs and spices adds wonderful flavor to any homemade pickle. You can make quick pickles using this recipe too.
You can add your favorite spices to any basic brine, like this one. Some combos to try: Cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cinnamon stick; coriander seeds, ground ginger, black peppercorns; smoked paprika, cumin seeds, caraway seeds.
A general rule of thumb for the dried-to-fresh herb ratio: Use one-third the amount of dried herb for the fresh herb called for in the recipe. For example, if you're converting fresh sage to dried sage in a recipe that calls for 1 Tbsp. of fresh sage, use 1 tsp. of dried sage instead.

Steps
Step 2
30 g salt per L water (or 1 oz salt per qt) for a 3% solution.
Step 3
50 g salt per L water (or 1 1/4 oz salt per qt) for a 5% solution.
Step 4
What Is the Brine Ratio? The basic ratio of salt to water for a brine is 4 tablespoons of kosher salt per 1 quart (4 cups) of water. If you are using fine table salt, reduce the amount to 3 tablespoons.
Step 5
If you don't need a full liter of brine solution, use either 2 tsp per cup for a 3% solution or 3 tsp per cup for a 5% solution.
Step 6
There are 4.227 cups in a liter. A cup is 8 fluid ounces and a liter is 33.8 fluid ounces.
Step 7
there will always be about 4.3 cups in a liter!
Step 8
If you don’t need perfectly exact measurements, simply round to 4 cups and add ¼ cup to make a liter. If you need ½ a liter measure out 2 cups and 2 Tablespoons.
