Cook’s note
To sterilise jars and lids, preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Wash jars in soapy water and rinse well. Place upside
down on a rack and place into the oven. Heat jars for 10 minutes or until dry. Use oven mitts or a bottle clamp to remove
the jars from the oven and place onto a board. Boil lids in a small saucepan and allow to air-dry on a rack. Fill jars while
hot for best results.
