Can you please tell me wich make of vinegar SA is very strong.
Valencia I use either Heinz white vinegar or Tuscan Garden vinegar (this I get at Aldi).
Just a quick message to let anyone know who is interested. I have made pickles before, but an easy way to get spicy pickles, if you need a shortcut: Buy a jar, when opened, pour off a little of the juice. Add about 2-cloves of garlic, cut into slices. If you want them spicy, also add half of a jalapeno pepper that is chopped into rings. Let sit in the fridge for about a week and the taste will definitely come through The longer in the fridge, the more the pickles take on the garlic and pepper taste. These are very yummy.
I don’t see why you couldn’t heat the lids in boiling water and put them on the jar and let them seal. My mom did this all the time. They kept in the pantry like that.
I am not understanding your comment Linda. You usually need to do more than just heat the lids in canning to get them to seal properly on most things.
