Title: Low-Temperature Pasteurization Treatment
Yield: 1 Text
Categories: Canning, Preserves, Pickles

Ingredients:



The following treatment results in a better product texture but must be
carefully managed to avoid possible spoilage. Place jars in a canner filled
half way with warm (120 degree to 140 degree F) water. Then, add hot water
to a level 1 inch above jars. Heat the water enough to maintain 180 degree
to 185 degree F water temperature for 30 minutes. Check with a candy or
jelly thermometer to be certain that the water temperature is at least 180
degrees F during the entire 30 minutes. Temperatures higher than 185
degrees F may cause unnecessary softening of pickles. Caution: Use only
when recipe indicates.
