What flavorings do you use for sour pickles?
I'm making sour pickles (salt water brine, no vinegar) and do not have dill, so I've got garlic and black pepper.
What other suggestions do you have for flavorings?

Depending on the main ingredient, some additional flavours can be added using the following:
Coriander Seed
Yellow or Black Mustard Seeds
Dried Chillies
Allspice
Ginger
Black Peppercorns
Bay Leaves
Juniper berries
Cinnamon stick
Fennel seed
Cloves
Celery seed
Combinations of the above can provide some really great flavours.
I've always used equal amounts of black peppercorns and crushed red pepper flakes along with dill and garlic.
Traditional cornichons are pickled with tarragon, not dill. I love that flavor!
My favorite canning site, the National Center for Home Food Preservation, also includes whole mustard seed in its recipe for dill pickles.
