    When preparing pickles, use a wooden spoon to stir instead of your bare hands, and minimize exposing the pickle to air. Pickles will last longer if you store them in clean sterilized jars. To sterilize jars for pickles and jams, put the jars upside down in a steamer basket and steam for several minutes. The bottles will be fully sterilized ready for any preserve. Wipe the inside of the jars with a cloth dipped in hot salted oil before storing pickle to keep it free of fungus. After refilling a pickle container, rub salt on the mouth of the container to keep pickles fresh. Always remove them from the jar with a dry spoon and not with your hand.
