4) Holland State Park Beach: with an expansive, sandy beach on Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa, each with their own campgrounds. 5) CityFlatsHotel: a sister property to the CityFlats in Downtown Grand Rapids, this is hands down the hippest hotel you will find in any of Michigan's lakefront communities, guaranteed.
Keep the jars in the hot water until you fill them with pickles. If the recipe calls for presterilized jars, boil the jars completely submerged in water for 10 minutes before turning down the heat. In a separate small container, heat the lids (flat discs) in hot, but not boiling water.
Prepare your recipe for jam, jelly, pickles, relish, etc.. Have a trivet or rack ready in your work area for the hot pot. Working with one jar at a time, use canning jar tongs to remove jars from the hot water to your work area. Fill jars with a ladle, leaving the appropriate amount of headspace (see your recipe).
