@nudeveg: Things I’ve learned from making 100s of pickles: Flake salt weighs less than pickling salt so thats why have to add more. I prefer using pickling salt but some people may prefer to use flake salt. So if you prefer to use flake salt don’t forget to account the extra if the recipe is based on pickling salt. You got this - have fun making pickles! #cookingtips #pickling #DIY #CookingHacks #canning #preservingfood #homesteading #farmlife #cooking
