I tried the oven method of sterilizing the jars the other day for some crabapple jelly. Soooo much better and easier!!! Thanks for the tip!!

Kathy, you will never go back to the boiling cauldron of water after you have tried this method! (Just remember that anything with plastic will still need to be boiled.)

I always did the messy boiling route, but that oven method looks so much more inviting. I still have a large bottle of fresh flowering crabapple juice to be made into jelly. Can’t wait to try this new method .

Like you, I used to go the Hot Water Route, but for the past few years have put my jars in the oven. I did however use the hot water for lids as I did not know if the rubber would be oven safe….. now I know. I am a full believer in “easy” and “safe”. Way to go!
