If you can find recipes that give the amounts by weight instead of volume then it wouldn't be a problem substituting the salt.

Most of the salt I use is for taste anyway, not so much pickling. I'm sure I can find canning salt if I look harder.

At Redner's it's across the aisle from the Ball jars and lids up the other end of the store from the baking goods.

I just picked up 2 more boxes of pickling salt from Walmart yesterday, spice aisle, bottom shelf.

I looked a few days ago at my local WM, and all they had was the prepackaged pickling stuff. Canning supplies were well stocked.

That's how you can tell that most people that are "preparing" are just a bunch of posers.

I was surprised. Canning is pretty big around here still. Grabbed a bunch of lids since there were plenty available.

Found a couple bone in ham shanks over the weekend that got passed over because they were in with the spiral hams. Got em de-boned, chunked up and canning them up. Good eats!

I try to avoid buying canning stuff at the store. Damned expensive. Did score a ball electric jelly maker way out of session for 1/5th the normal price.

Really like by tattler reusable lids.
