Pickle Crisp has no salt Bev, it's pure food grade calcium chloride. As
a matter of fact most municipalities now use chemical grad calcium
chloride versus salt to deice roads.

Try getting your calcium chloride from a brew shop, it's used to clarify
beers.

It says on the jar 1/2 tsp per quart. I've used that measurement and it
seems to be fine.

Typo, 1/4 tsp per quart.

That last one sounds right to me as it is now 1/8 tspn per pint
according to the jar I bought recently. Using the PC in the old
envelopes you would have been right. I still have four of the envelopes
to use up so I will have to read the directions each time to keep from
screwing up.

Hi Bev
I recently canned pickles using pickle crisp in a jar for the first time. You use 1/8 tsp. for a pint, and 1/4 tsp for a quart. No one in my area sold the stuff, so I had to ask for it to be ordered, but I'm told that most of the Meijer stores sell it in the canning section. I looked it up on a Ball canning site, and pickle crisp is just another name for calcium chloride.
Hope this helps.

I am seeing it quite often now in small quantities near the jar lids,
pectin, and other Ball products in the grocery stores. Our area is not
prolific for canning supplies.
