Preserving Technique:
STERILIZE canning jars
Put a hot liquid or substance into a canning safe jar that has been washed (pre heat), do not overfill, leave about ¼ from the top
Secure the lid and safely put jar in a pot of boiling water fully covered
Set a timer for the recommended time, usually around 10-12 minutes
When timer goes off, carefully remove jar from boiling water and place on a towel to cool to room temperature
Check the lid after it is fully cooled to make sure it’s properly sealed
Store at room temperature for 12-18 months
Refrigerate after opening for up to 5 days
