HOW TO STERILIZE JARS FOR HOMEMADE JELLIES

JARS

BUY NEW JARS, OR IF USING OLD JARS, WASH THEM IN THE DISHWASHER, AS MANY AS NEEDED

---

CLEAN KITCHEN TOWELS, AS MANY AS NEEDED

---

TO STERILIZE THE JARS: PLACE THE JARS IN A LARGE SAUCEPAN SEPARATED BY THE KITCHEN TOWELS AND FILL THE SAUCEPAN WITH WATER. PLACE OVER MEDIUM HEAT TO BOIL ABOUT 30 MINUTES

---

ADD THE JAR CAPS TO THE WATER THE LAST 10 MINUTES 

---

TAKE THE JARS OUT OF THE BOILING WATER AND FILL THEM WITH THE HOT JELLY

---

TIGHTEN THE CAPS ON THE JARS AND TURN THEM UP SIDE DOWN TO COOL. THE JARS WILL FORM AN AIR TIGHT SEAL. WHEN THE JELLY IS COOL, REFRIGERATE.
