Hold neck with both hands. Shake in Pendulum motion using base as pivote. | • | Never use wet spoons, ladles etc to remove or handle pickle. Moistures paves way for rotting. | • | Always press remaining pickle with a rubber spatula or spoon back making sure under the pickle is fully submerged the oil layer. | • | Never throw away pickle juice after using all the pickles in a jar. It's great for adding to devilled eggs, coleslaw and potato salad. | • | A piece of horseradish placed in a jar of pickles will keep the vinegar from losing its strength. The pickles will not be become soft or moldy. | • | Trim 1/8 inch slice from both ends of cucumbers before making into pickles. The ends contain enzymes which may cause pickles to soften. | • | Save pickle juice. Slice unwaxed cucumbers into thin strips and refrigerate in the juice for four days.
