I picked up 13 gallons at FF today. 5% acidity. It’s what you want for canning. Price is $2 gallon. I’m thinking you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal than this.

Pick up some lime juice, substitute for half of the vinegar in your salsa recipe. Retains the acidity while add some zest to the flavor.

Yep. That will work also for making tomato juice.
For me canning dill pickles I still need the vinegar.
I did also find a better deal. It was $1.89/gallon. Didn’t need any so I didn’t buy any.
Good luck with the canning season. So far we’ve only have done 40 quarts and 5 one gallon jars of pickles. Way behind last year.
Riverruns? Are you doing commercial food service of anytype? That’s a lot of pickles, no?
Nothing commercial. All of it gets used some how.
Last year was just over 300 quarts of dill pickles. I wont be doing that this year. Not for the lack of cucumbers but the lack of time and will to set a new personal record.

That’s a lot of pickles, YES!
River….
Do you use the white vinegar for dills? I’ve always used the cider after trying the white and not caring for the finished product. Just curious. Everyone I know uses cider for pickles but maybe you’re just showing the white in the picture?
I have never used cider vinegar for canning pickles. You are the first person I’ve ever heard of using cider instead of white.
Ending the season with 109 quarts of pickles canned. About 1/3 of last years season. I have plenty of dill vacuum sealed for next year.
