Hmmm. I canned up a dozen half-pints of hot and sweet cucumber relish the other day using an old recipe. I gave the relish a *boiling* bath for 12 minutes. Then today when I got ready to can some hot bread and butter pickles I saw the acid content on the vinegar was 4%; somehow we got one of those gallons mixed in with the 5% gallons. The relish has a one cup of brown sugar/2 cups of vinegar ratio and I didn't boil the vinegar when I was simmering spices in it. Am I going to die? carp
