Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary
until the tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil
then cover and process for 30 minutes.
AllRecipes / Julia Hartbeck
Remove jars from the pot and place on a cloth-covered or wood surface
several inches apart
until cool. Once cool
press the top of each lid with a finger
ensuring that seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
