How to sterilize and seal jam jars?
The two most common methods for sterilising empty jam jars are:
If you are using water bath or pressure canning methods, you do no need to pre-sterilise the jars, as the canning process itself will sterilise them.
Regardless of whether you use the hot fill, water bath, or pressure canning method, the jar seals as the hot contents cool and create a vacuum.
How to tell if a jam jar is sealed?
It depends on the jar type:
Do you need to boil jam jars to seal?
No, you don’t. You can use the traditional hot fill method - pour boiling hot contents into a hot, sterilised jar and screw on a hot, sterilised lid tightly.
