Answer 8 out of 8
 
A:

Whenever you water-bath can there is a risk of botulism. Vegetables do not have enough acid to prevent botulism and without actually testing the pH (acidity level) of the mixture, it is impossible to know whether the vinegar added is enough to raise the pH sufficiently. If the recipe was intended to be refrigerated, it probably should not be canned.
