Did you put the lids and seals in the oven along with the jars?
No. Just fill the clean jars and set them ON A COOKIE SHEET in the oven. When the time is up..we just took them out one at a time. I did like the article said and used a damp paper towel to wipe the rim.
We were nervous because we’ve always heated the lids. But by golly..we put the lids and rings on and they all sealed.
