  • Place the rest of the dry spices next
  • Add the pickles, packing tightly and making sure they stay under the 1st rim of the Mason Jar
  • Add the vinegar and fill the rest of the jar with water leaving 1/2 inch of head space in the jar. Plunge a small knife into the jar 2 or 3 times to release any air bubbles,
  • Add the lid and screw the band on loosely enough to secure it to the jar without it slipping but do not tighten

  • Cook for 15 minutes then turn off heat and let sit for 5 more
  • Carefully remove the jar with the jar lifter and place onto a clean towel to cool.
  • Check the jar after 2 hours to see if it has a good seal, you may even it making a ping sound as the seal tightens on it's own. If for some reason your jar did not seal its is okay simply place it in the fridge and eat over the next few weeks, Once you are sure it has sealed you can leave out for the day and just tighten the seal before you place the completely cooled pickles into your pantry.
