Every so often, when people are discussing food longevity, I just have to relate this story. When my father died I found a jar of bread and butter pickles in his fridge that his mother, my grandmother, canned 50 (that's FIFTY) years prior. We opened and ate the whole jar, and the pickle slices were actually still crispy. My grandmother really knew how to can.
