refrigerator pickle tartness

18 years ago

My sons girlfriend absolutely loves pickles and I recently made her a gallon of spears using the following recipe. She loves them but said she wouldnt mind if they were more tart. What should I change?

quartered cukes of course

2 2/3 cups vinegar plus distilled water to fill

5 TBS salt

10 TBS sugar

TBS black pepper corns

TBS mustard seed

tsp celery seed

2 TBS dill seed

1/4 tsp turmeric

8 cloves garlic

handfull fresh dill

2 tsp pickle crisp

I am figuring that reducing the sugar or increasing the vinegar would do the trick but dont want to lose the overall flavor, just increase the tartness
