### CONTAINERS FOR PICKLES

      Many  of  the  directions  for  making  pickles  call for

    processing
     for  5 or 10 minutes in a  boiling  water  bath.

    Whenever
     the  processing time for pickles is less  than  10

    minutes,
       sterilized  jars  should  be  used.    If    the

    processing
     time  is 10 minutes or longer, the jars  do  not

    need
     to be sterilized.   Make sure  all jars  are clean and

    hot.
