Re:sugar in recipe, my little sister was a type one diabetic for over 50 years she passed at 57 4 years ago and back when we were kids I got to help Mom can, freeze or store everything in the fruit cellar we had a fridge as good as they were so no milk house, but the milk truck came by each morning except Sunday sooo….
Anyways for pickles Mom would cut back on the sugar by as much as half and the pickles turned out fine just less sweet. And sister was able to eat a few, just balancing out the sweetness of the rest of the meal — must have worked considering the age she lived to most of her diabetic friends, she met many, did not live as many years with diabetes and all of the ones I knew predeceased her, most did not balance things in the way she did but she was involved with a study and I think they are recommending many of her methods today.
I have never canned. Can I just put the cans in boiling water in a pot or do I need a canner of some sort? Dianna, you can use any pot as long as the water level is 1 inch over the top of the filled jars with the lids and bands on snugly.
You also need some kind of rack under your jars to keep them off the bottom of the pot, or you could put some other metal item…maybe some canning bands with a cake pan on top …anything to keep a very small amount of space between the bottom of the pan and the jars while also keeping them steady. My mom used to put a tea towel in the bottom of the pot and the jars on it. When the water starts boiling, the tea towel keeps the jars from moving and banging into each other.
