Juniper, I'll bet the flour is in there to thicken, and that cornstarch (likely not substituted 1:1) would do just fine for that too, if you figure flour is a bad idea. I've never canned, so I don't have an informed view.

The amount of flour seems rather a lot for that job, even with a couple quarts of vinegar and three or four pounds of assorted vegetables in the mix.

And the whole doggoned thing sounds temptingly fun to mess up the kitchen with. Wonder if I would go for more chilis in it...?
