However, most pickle recipes call for canning or pickling salt rather than regular table salt. Picking salt is made without the use of anti-caking agents or iodine. If you use regular table salt or sea salt, the anti-caking agents may make the brine cloudy, and if the salt is iodized, it may make the brine darker. Non-iodized salts are readily available, and although the brine may be a bit cloudy, the pickles should taste fine.

Can you use kosher salt for canning?
No...and yes. Canning Salt and Kosher Salt are the same chemically speaking, as in pure salt (NaCl) with no additives such as iodine or anti-caking agents. These additives can react during canning and storing, giving unsightly colors or flavors and give you a not so kosher situation. The difference is in their crystal size and density. Canning salt is very close to the consistency of regular table salt/sugar vs the significantly larger Kosher salt crystals. This means that a box of Canning salt is quite a bit heavier than the same size box of Kosher salt. The smaller crystals allow for easy solution in cold liquids as you might be doing in a brine or pickle and other such canning projects. The large sharp crystals of Kosher salt are traditionally used in salting meats since the crystals cling well to the outside thus drawing out non-kosher fluids within, although Kosher salt has many uses around the kitchen. Especially for a cold brine near saturation Canning salt is recommended. Where a brine is used for room temperature fermentation follow the recipe precisely as the salt concentration is crucial for avoiding bad bacterial invasion. Otherwise Kosher salt can be directly substituted if the recipe goes by weight. Alternatively Canning Salt is about a third heavier for a given volume. Some salts with only the word Pickling, ideal for pickling, Coarse Salt for pickling, etc. on the label will also be free of additives but they can have larger crystals than canning salt, very close in size to Fine Kosher salt. The easiest way to tell is to compare them in the store by picking up the boxes. The Canning salt consistency will be the heaviest. Boxes of the same size will help. All these salts are fundamentally the same so providing you have a recipe that calls for salt by weight and you don't mind extra stirring use them interchangeably. Of course no salt is free of trace molecules, having unique characteristics depending on the source mine. But these trace minerals are in such low amounts that they can't be tasted. Sea salts, although they may be natural and free of additives such as iodine, have other naturally occurring "additives" including organic compounds. These are trapped by the evaporation process in more than just trace amounts thus giving it that sea salt flavor. Sea salts give unpredictable results canned and so are not recommended.
