I would politely suggest that you throw them out & start over.

This recipe can be halved or quartered & you can cut the garlic or double it or skip the dill, but it works fine as is.

Basic Pickle Recipe for 12 x 1 liter Mason Jars

15 cups water
15 cups vinegar
2 ¼ cups coarse or pickling salt
12 garlic cloves (1 per jar – cut in halves)
Dill (one sprig per jar)
Enough small cucumbers

Wash & scrub cukes & soak in cold ice water overnight.
Sterilize lids & jars.
Boil water, vinegar & salt.
Fill jars with pickles, garlic & top with dill.
Pour liquid to the rim.
Dry jar lips, place the lid on & lightly screw on the jar ring.
Immediately invert jar to seal & cool.
Check seals & store.
