The National Center for Home Food Preservation (http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_06/prep_foods.html) recommends avoiding vinegars of unknown acidity to avoid spoilage and botulism. You must test your homemade vinegar to be sure it's safe to use for canning, especially if you do not plan to process the pickles in a boiling water canner. Hi Maggie.

Can I just use my home-made apple cider vinegar? thanks. Do I really have to use distilled white vinegar? Can I just use my home-made apple cider vinegar?

The color change in the garlic is not harmful, just comes as a result of all the green vegetables in the jar. I hope you enjoy them! Hi Kenda.

It's better and more elaborate than mine was anyway. I did pickle 15 pints last Wednesday evening and they look absolutely wonderful. My question is regarding the garlic cloves. Almost all of them have developed a bluish tint (almost light teal color). Is this normal? Nothing else has changed in color and I doubt that it's harmful but, I thought I'd check with the expert.

There's no sugar in the recipe so these won't be sweet at all. They are pretty tangy and if you add the hot peppers they'll be spicy, too. Hi Larry.

Should I expect these to be similar in flavor to sweet pickles or dill pickles? I’ll be following this recipe to make a batch here in a few days.

They were awesome! But the longer they sat on the shelf, the soggier they got. Any tips on using maybe more alum or grape leaves? I'm about to do some more, but want them as crunchy as possible. HELP! Okay,

I've seen pickling salt and pickling spice at Wal-Mart in the home goods area where they sell the canning jars as well as various grocery stores in the spice area. Have fun! Hi Elliott.
