I want to substitute some natural cane sugar for white sugar, because I don't have enough of the white to make pickle recipe. The recipe calls for 7 cups of sugar, and I have 4 1/2 of refined white sugar so I want to use the rest in natural cane sugar. Will this work?

Yes, you should be fine with a mixture of sugars as it is mostly for flavoring. The main point is to make sure the sweetener is fully dissolved in your pickling liquid.
One user asked a similar question about using honey, and searching the web also produced recipes for how to use sugar substitutes in place of sugar for pickling.

1thank you, wasn't sure, will know for next time, I have done so many pickles this yr. probably close to 100 jars of all kinds, and my cukes keep coming faster than I can process, I ran to store and got the white, that is the only time I use refined sugar, so didn't want to mess up my recipe for lack of trip to store– kathyCommented Aug 23, 2018 at 18:53

I haven't been canning or pickling for too long, so treat this accordingly, but I routinely use natural sugars as a substitute for the pure-white refined stuff and have seen no adverse effects whatsoever. If anything I think it tastes better. Commented Aug 23, 2018 at 19:30
