Hi. I made bread and butter pickles last week, and now I opened up the jar to eat them and the brine is very gelatinous. Too much mustard seed? Or because i used sea salt? I don't think they're spoiled, I used around 1 1/2 cup vinegar and only a half cup of water. Any ideas why so I can fix it next time? I've made pickles before so this is a mystery to me. Thank you.
