MISSION: STERILIZE JARS 100%! 

STEPS:

  1. Wash jars in hot suds and rinse in scalding water. 
  2. Put jars in a water-bath canner or on a rack set in a deep pot and cover with hot water.
  3. Bring water to a boil and boil jars, covered, 15 minutes from time steam emerges from pot. 
  4. Turn off heat and let jars stand in hot water. 
  5. Just before filling them, invert jars onto a kitchen towel to dry.  (Jars should be filled while still hot.) 
  6. Sterilize lids in boiling water 5 minutes.
