Also, the high heat is what's needed more than the sealing itself to kill the bad stuff, which obviously can only be done with boiling (or pressure canning).<br /><br />From the book "Heat-processing home-canned food is not optional!

I always thought it was a matter of preference. <br /><br />Does it say anything about when you just turn jars of jam upside down to seal them and not waterbathing them? I've seen some controversy about that. Mom and I always just inverted our jam jars and never had sealing or mold problems, but people go around and around about it.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.com
