| We forgot to add pickle crisp to some of our jars of pickles. Can we add it after we open them to firm up the pickles? |

| It won't hurt to try it but I honestly doubt it will have much effect as it is a preventative, a pre-processing treatment and any softening will have already developed. Dave |

| Dave is 100% right on. If you forgot to add it when processing, don't bother later on. It will not ever "firm up" anything that has "gone soft". Jim in So Calif |

| On a slightly related note, would pickle crisp be effective for refrigerator pickles that are not being processed at all (but still as a preventative), or is the processing important? |

| Csiga, Pickle Crisp, or generic, is usually used by me in refrigerator pickles. Even with fermented pickles, I add generic Pickle Crisp after the fermentation period is completed at room temperature, and just before placing in the refrigerator, just as Dave suggests. Works great. Jim in So Calif |

| Where do you find generic Pickle Crisp? I've not heard of it. I'd love to find a cheaper generic version. |

| Where do you find generic Pickle Crisp? A search here will pull up many discussions about it and sources for it. bulkfoods.com is a common source as is canningpantry.com Dave |
