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.
Step 7 - Fill the jars with dill, mustard seed and cucumbers and put the lid and rings on. Pack the cucumbers from step 5, whole or slices in and pour the simmering pickle mix liquid over them. Fill them to within Â¼-inch of the top, seat the lid and hand-tighten the ring around them.
