What is pickle crisp?

Pickle crisp is a product that helps maintain the crunchiness of pickles when canning or pickling them. It is made of calcium chloride, which is a firming agent that prevents the pickles from becoming soft and mushy during the canning process. Pickle crisp can be added directly to the jars of pickles before processing, ensuring that the pickles retain their crisp texture. It is a popular product among home canners and pickle enthusiasts for ensuring that their pickles stay delicious and crunchy.
