LOW-TEMPERATURE PASTEURIZATION TREATMENT FOR PROCESSING

CAUTION:
USE ONLY WHEN RECIPE INDICATES.                    

    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
degrees to 140 degrees  Fahrenheit)  water.   Then, add

hot
 water to  a  level 1  inch above jars.  Heat the  water

enough
 to  maintain  180  degrees to 185 degrees Fahrenheit

water
temperature  for 30  minutes.   Check  with a candy or

jelly
thermometer to  be certain that the water  temperature

is
at least 180  degrees  Fahrenheit  during  the  entire 30

minutes.
Temperatures higher than 185 degrees Fahrenheit may

cause
unnecessary softening of pickles.
