I am new to this group and need some help.
I made my first batch of pickles and tossed them after 3 days. They were very soft and mushy. I used English cucumber cut into quarters, added thinly slices onions, garlic sliced, pepper corns and some dried dill. I mixed 4 cups of filtered water with 1 1/2 table spoon sea salt. Loaded a wide mouth Mason jar with an air lock. 3 days later quite a let down. Thought I had everything right but I guess not. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks
