I did that recipe again. Each batch as listed made 3 pints. I increased the vinegar to 1/4 c to bring the acid up and it has a salt amount almost up to fermentation levels. I think I need to decrease the salt on the next batch.
I ran out of pepper, so I did one batch with cumin.
The batch with pepper evacuated a lot of water while processing, so I wonder if I didn't cook that batch long enough.
