Reprocessing Pickles Is reprocessing OK?
Just wondering,
Yesterday, I had 3 jars of pickles that did not seal. Is there anyway I
could just recan them? If I did, I am guessing I would need to use a
brand new lid..... I hate to loose three whole jars of pickles. I have
them in the fridge right now
Thanks for you help,

Julia,
Canning foods again that do
not seal the first time is safe, as long as you do so withing 24 hours. Since you have had them
in the fridge I think you will be fine.
I have to say
though that with pickles they might turn mushy from being cooked
twice. It might not be a problem but just so you know the
possibility.
You'd need to reheat them before you can them again. Yes, use new
lids.
The
other option is to just use them right away. They will last
in
the fridge just like other pickles and since you found the lost seal
right away you are safe. Maybe a friend might want a jar of
your
pickles?
