HELP! Forgot an ingredient are they safe to eat?

[MHardy85]

Hi....

First time canner here and didn't put in the canning salt on a batch of pickles I made a few weeks ago. They canned fine just forgot to add the salt. They've been in the pantry in the dark for a few weeks now are they safe to eat? Or should I dump them and make a new batch?

I figured you folks would know....thank you!!!!

if you used vinegar, they should be fine.

i think you effectively made half sour pickles! they just won't have the saltiness of regular pickles.

They've sealed properly and they're preserved properly... but I'm not too sure I'd like the taste. However, I've never had them to say for sure.

Just open a jar a week or so before you intend to use it. Pour in the right amount of salt and refrigerate it for a week or so. That will give the salt time to penetrate. Pickles will keep for up to a year in the refrigerator.
