PREVENTING SPOILAGE OF PICKLES
Pickle products are subject to spoilage from
microorganisms, particularly yeasts and molds, as well as
enzymes that may affect flavor, color and texture.
Processing the pickles in a boiling-water canner will
prevent both of these problems. Standard canning jars and
self-sealing lids are recommended. Processing times and
procedures will vary according to food acidity and the size
of food pieces.
