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.
Simply pack the pickles into clean canning jars and fill the jars with the vinegar solution. Leave a half inch space at the top, dab the rims clean, and place the lids inside the bands and seal tightly. Place them in a boiling water bath for at least 10 minutes and up to 30, depending on the type of pickle.
