Pickling Tips
- Use pickling salt or kosher salt - table salt causes cloudy brine
- Vinegar must be at least 5% acidity for safe canning
- Leave 1/2 inch headspace in jars for expansion
- Process in boiling water bath for shelf-stable pickles
- Wait 2-4 weeks before eating for best flavor development
