### LOW-TEMPERATURE PASTEURIZATION TREATMENT FOR PROCESSING

    CAUTION:
    USE ONLY WHEN RECIPE INDICATES.

        The  following  treatment results in a  better  product

    texture
     but  must be carefully managed  to  avoid  possible

    spoilage.
     Place jars in a canner filled half way with  warm

    (120
    degrees to 140 degrees  Fahrenheit)  water.   Then, add

    hot
     water to  a  level 1  inch above jars.  Heat the  water

    enough
     to  maintain  180  degrees to 185 degrees Fahrenheit

    water
    temperature  for 30  minutes.   Check  with a candy or

    jelly
    thermometer to  be certain that the water  temperature

    is
    at least 180  degrees  Fahrenheit  during  the  entire 30

    minutes.
    Temperatures higher than 185 degrees Fahrenheit may

    cause
    unnecessary softening of pickles.
