I work with 5 to 10% acidity organic apple cider vinegars. Never had any problems.
But use at your own risk - search my recipe for Armenian Dill Pickles. I've literally pickled 1000's of jars in the past 50 plus years. Anything that doesn't seal, with a hot pack - boiling brine and hot sterlised jars, lids and rings gets a water bath or put in the fridge. Anything that pops a lid down the road, smells dodgy or even looks dodgy gets tosses. Have never made anybody sick. The people at the Buffalo Niagara Tomato Tastefest have tasted my pickles - cukes and mixed peppers and mixed veggies. Ask them how they turned out.

There is a fine line between genius and crazy.
I like to use that line as a jump rope.
