Can I use my "foodsaver" vacuum packer to make Pickles?
I figure I can pre-make the pickling liquid, then just add it to the cucumbers and vacuum pack them in my mason jars. Will I need to adjust the recipe?
I think the whole purpose of boiling the jars with everything in them is only to create the vacuum seal on the jars.

Obviously it is still important to sterilize the jars right before use. And I plan to brine the cucumbers 24 hours before vacuum packing.

But, do not let that liquid get sucked up, I messed mine
up with liquid.
maybe but part of the reason you boil the jar and blanch whatever your canning is to sterilize everything before you can it to avoid botulism poisioning. i wouldnt try it myself because of the risk of food poisioning.
