What? Lots and lots of pickles are canned (all the ones at the store, except for some of the refrigerated ones). They just do it in glass jars instead of metal.
Edit: I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for stating a fact. Shelf-stable pickles (that aren’t lacto-fermented) like this…
…are, in fact, considered “canned.” If you don’t believe me, call up Vlasic yourself and ask them if “canning” accurately describes their manufacturing process. The number is right there on the jar in the picture: 1-800-421-3265.
Edit 2: Just to be even more clear, pickles like this:
Are not canned. The difference isn’t the container (which has exactly the same kind of “lug” or “twist-off” lid as the Vlasic jar), but the fact that this one isn’t pasteurized and has a warning label telling you to keep it refrigerated.
Nope. When something is heat-sterilized and preserved in a sealed container via water bath or pressure, it’s considered “canned” regardless of what type of container it is. That’s why things like this…
Mayhaps in english. Maybe he is not form an english speaking country. I myself am not and canning here is exclusively for metal cans and jarring has a separate word.
