I was jus' lookin' on the internet and I found some eastern european
"sour pickle" recipes that used "sour salt". Looked up "sour salt" and
it is available and it is made out of citric acid-an old, old, eastern
european way of picklin'. No dill. Some of the sour pickle recipes used
mustard and alum or mustard seed. No dill, just brine, perhaps vinegar,
but the old eastern europe way was brine and "sour salt". That may be
the key. PCA
