How to Boil Down in Screw-Top Jars
When boiling down with screw-top jars, your ingredients are filled into the jars, sealed tightly, and then heated in a water bath or canning appliance. This kills bacteria and forms a vacuum, which keeps the contents safe and shelf-stable.
Here are a few beginner tips:
· Make sure jars and lids are clean and sterilized.
· Don’t overfill the jars – leave headspace for vacuum formation.
· Choose recipes with enough acid or sugar to ensure preservation.
