Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw bands.

    Step 2

    Put jars and lids on a rack in a boiling-water canner or an 8- to 10-quart deep pot and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Heat water until an instant-read thermometer registers 180°F. Do not let boil. Keep jars submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
