While you’re waiting to fill your jars, submerge the jars and lids in hot, not boiling, water, and keep your screw bands clean and handy as follows.

 Jars: Submerge them in hot water in your kettle for a minimum of 10 minutes. Keep them there until you’re ready to fill them.

 Lids: Wash single-use lids in hot, soapy water, then dry and set aside until needed. Sterilize reusable lids and gaskets in simmering water until you’re ready to use them.

 Screw bands: These don’t need to be kept hot, but they do need to be clean. Place them where you’ll be filling your jars.
