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.
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.
