Boil enough water in a large pot so jars will be fully submerged. Boil for 5-10 minutes or so to sterilize. Pull jars out and allow to dry on a towel.

Sterilize as many pint or quart jars as you will need. I usually sterilize more then I think I will need just to be safe.

In a small sauce pan, sterilize lids in boiling water. I keep the lids in the water until I am ready to use.

Keep water boiling because you will need the boiling water later to seal the jars.
