Step-By-Step Jar Sterilization with the Water Canner
You will need Mason Jars, a Water Canner and Dish Soap.
Fill water just over half way in the water canner and bring to a boil. Wash all canning equipment in hot water with mild dish soap. Place lids and bands on a clean dish towel. Submerge jars in the boiling water bath for five to ten minutes. Leave the jars inside the hot water until you are ready to fill.
