Boil a large stockpot of water on the stove over high heat.
After the water reaches a rolling boil, carefully lower the jars inside the pot using jar tongs.
Do not let the jars bump into each other, as this could lead to chips or cracks forming.
Allow the jars to sterilize in the hot water for 10 to 15 minutes before carefully removing them with jar tongs. , The lids also need to be sterilized before use, but some canning lids should not be boiled in water prior to the canning process.
