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.
Sterilising really just means a really good clean so you need to wash the inside of the jar then steam or heat it to ensure that the jars remain clean while drying. There are two ways to do this. This is the easiest of the two methods so if you have a dishwasher, it's the best option to go for. 1  Fill your dishwasher with your clean jars (if using old jars, you will need to rinse them out first.)  Set your dishwasher to the highest setting or steam setting if it has one and put them through a cycle.
