Process the Jars
Place a trivet at the bottom of a stockpot and fill the pot halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil, and add the jars. Pour in more boiling water until the jars are completely covered (the water should be at least 1 inch above the top of the jars). Bring the water in the stockpot to a boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
Pickled vs. Marinated
Pickled foods can be marinated, but not all marinated foods are pickled. Marinating means flavoring a food with acid. While pickling means preserving a food with salt or with acid.
To be considered pickled, the food needs to be preserved in the brine or marinade and not just flavored by the brine or marinade.
