All of those recipes sound good, but being impatient with recipes like I am I use Mrs.Wage's mixes. I also have some that stuff made for crisping up your pickles and it works good.
I have been canning for three years now and not one person has figured out that I am not using some mix that my Mother or Grandmother used.
Mrs. Wage's Bread and Butter mix is real good if you like them sweet!
Jim, my mom and grandma always used about the same amount of dill you pictured!
If I were you, I would sneak a taste before 6 weeks like they say! Just use them like refrigerator pickles.
