Heat the Lids

Paul puts the lids in a small pan of water and turns on the heat under them. To help keep them from sticking together we alternate the lids top side up and down. Authorities warn against boiling them. We just put heat under them and turn off the heat when they boil. Keep them in the water until used. This needs to be done before you fill the jars so they are ready when needed.
