What kind of salt is in valasic dill pickles?

Vlassic dill pickles typically use kosher salt in their brine solution. This type of salt is preferred for its purity and larger grain size, which helps in flavor and texture. The brine also includes vinegar and various spices, contributing to the distinct taste of the pickles.

Is home canned tomatoes safe after 3 years storage?

That's a long time to have left tomato sauce in a pot. Whether it is safe or not depends on the type of pot and the conditions under which it was stored, as well as whether or not it grew anything in that time frame. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

Why didn't my homemade grape jelly set?

I just add a product called jamset to the cooking and my jam sets everytime.

The most common reason for this happening is lack of the setting agent pectin. As grapes are naturally low in this, a sufficient quantity of commercially available pectin must be added. It is possible to go back and reboil the mix with 20 percent more pectin added. Sometimes inadequate cooking time is the problem. In either case, testing a small amount on a cold saucer towards the end of cooking time is helpful. If it does not wrinkle when pushed with a finger or tilted, it isn't ready and won't set.

I made grape jelly,using sur-jel but it didn't. I tried to re cook with more pectin and sugar now it is too sweet and still didn't set up. What now? I hate to throw it out.

Jelly requires sugar, pectin and acid. If your fruit is not sufficiently acid, you need to add a couple of tbs. of lemon juice when you are making it. Don't throw your failed jelly out--you can use it as syrup on pancakes or other cakes.

What is a type of hot pickle?

Most picles can be made hot (spicy) by adding jalapeno or other peppers to the jars before filling with pickles and pickling juice.

How do you can food?


The term "canning" is somewhat misleading, because it mostly uses traditional glass jars, not the ubiquitous metal containers called cans. Home canning (preserving) involves cooking and thereby sterilizing the foods. Then the products (mostly fruit and vegetables) are sealed within an airtight jar using flexible seals and screwed-on lids.

A guide to the process can be found at the related link.

How do you know when a ball canning jar is old enough to be a collectable?

Any Ball (Atlas or Mason) canning jar that is not a screw top is a collectible. These are no longer produced for canning. They had glass dome tops that were held down by a wire lever, and sealed with a gum-rubber sealing ring. Some screw top canning jars may be collectible items if they are no longer manufactured, or were manufactured by a company no longer in business. I still use my Atlas jars.

Can you use propylene gas to cook on?

Yes, cooking with propylene gas should be ok to cook on. It is very similar to propane. Obviously it is highly flammable so use typical precaution with storage and handling as you would with propane. Combustion of the gas produces carbon monoxide (like propane), so it is always necessary to have adequate ventilation to decrease risk of asphyxiation (simple asphyxiant) hazard).
