Canning pickles at home is a fast, fun, and simple way to preserve the summer harvest for eating later.

How to Can Pickles

We can add spices and other things but vegetables and vinegar are the main components.

Acidity Matters

You must use a vinegar that has 5% acidity. Use a store bought vinegar here, not your homemade to assure that acidity level.
