            There would be a few issues-first, you'd have to replace the salt by weight, not volume; second, canning salt is very fine to ensure thorough dissolving-not to say you couldn't get the sea salt to dissolve fully, but you'd have to take some extra caution with it; and 3-the biggest in my opinion-is that I would assume sea salt contains natural iodine, which can cause spotting on your canned item.
