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.
