pill. n. 1. (Pharmacology) a small spherical or ovoid mass of a medicinal substance, intended to be swallowed whole. 2. (Medicine) the pill (sometimes capital) an oral contraceptive. 3. something unpleasant that must be endured (esp in the phrase bitter pill to swallow). 4. a ball or disc. 5. a small ball of matted fibres that forms on the surface of a fabric through rubbing.
Fill your jars, while still hot place a waxed disc over the pickle, then a clear (cellophane) circle over the top of the jar, and secure with a rubber band. As anything with vinegar can get through the clear top it's best to put a metal lid as well, over the clear cover.
Place the lids on the jars and bottles. Screw on the lid rings and make sure the lids are securely fastened. 3. Set the jars on a rack inside a deep pot. The wire rack will keep the jars from touching the bottom of the pot, helping the contents of the jar get evenly cooked and ensuring that the jar seals properly.
