Can you substitue sea salt for kosher in bread and butter pickles?

You can substitute sea salt for kosher salt in bread and butter pickles, but you might need to adjust the amount slightly.

Here's why:

* Grain size: Kosher salt has larger crystals than sea salt. This means you'll need slightly less sea salt to achieve the same level of saltiness.

* Saltiness: Sea salt can be more "salty" than kosher salt, so a little less may be needed.

* Flavor: Sea salt can have a slightly different flavor than kosher salt, which might affect the final taste of your pickles.

Here's what to do:

1. Start with a smaller amount: Begin by using about 75% of the kosher salt amount called for in your recipe.

2. Taste test: After the pickles have been brined for a few days, taste one. Adjust the saltiness by adding more sea salt if needed.

Remember: The best way to determine the perfect amount of salt is to taste test and adjust accordingly.

Enjoy your homemade bread and butter pickles!
