Posted - Sep 14 2010 : 10:21:07 AM Can someone tell me what canning salt really is? Can I just subsitute sea salt (which is the only salt we use) for canning salt in a recipe?

Posted - Sep 14 2010 : 11:50:43 AM Since sea salt isn't iodized and isn't "table salt" it sounds like it would be fine then?

Posted - Sep 14 2010 : 11:18:51 AM It is salt with iodine like Amy said but it also does not have a "flowing" agent that table salt has which can separate out and be a white deposit in the bottom of the jar when you can.
