Hubby loves the kraut and pickled stuff. I worry he eats and overindulges when I'm not around. I did discover from last year that Sea Salt works well with tomatoes. So that's a trade he likes. I want to try sea salt for pickling but he wouldn't let me take that chance of losing a batch of pickles or a jar of kraut. He loves that stuff.

The cabbage family and I don't get along. I have a congenital GI defect which is for some reason incompatible with cabbage.
Lately my fave, cauliflower started to get me the same. Only one left now is broccoli, which so far is okay, cooked. The cramping and pain, from cabbage is really unbearable for me now, sadly. What is the issue with sea salt? Is it unsafe, because it is not purified, for canning?

Hubby has hypertension. See the problem all this home canning can do. He eats fresh veggies all summer though. using sea salt has lowered his BP a lot. Sea Salt don't have iodine in it. so don't know what to do about that yet. It has a robust flavor. We like it. Doesn't take as much as table salt Didn't know it wasn't purified for canning. Ummm. He'll have to eat his tomatoes fast then. I'll have to read and inqure more about it for canning purposes. I can tomatoes for my mother without any salt. She's on salt restriction diet. She loves them too, any way she can get them.

Great garden! Mine is tiny, but enough for us. Just a couple tomatoes, cukes and peppers. Didn't get to enjoy this year as dh is gone and I was too, half the summer. But we've been growing for a few years .
We don't can, but froze a ton of tomatoes last year and they were so tasty - I still have two bags left! Gotta love a deep freezer.  Still have dried peppers too. I think the canning process would kill anything in the sea salt, don't you? Salt is just an ingredient.... I'd try it. Manufacturers use sea salt - Campbell's, etc - and their stuff is just fine. Can you get canning recipes with sea salt online?
