Hi,

    I have only been making for just over a year and when I started,
    having two cats and being on the clumsy side myself was worried about
    using anything dangerous.  I started using and still use alum, which
    is available in most chemists and if they don't stock it they should
    be able to order it for you. It comes in powder form and you mix one
    tea spoonful of the powder with half a pint of water; put it in your
    crack pot and keep it on the lowest heat possible, and it's as simple
    as that.  It takes a little longer than pickle but the results are
    the same and with out the risk! 

Hope this is of some help.
Karen
