Canning Carrots
23 Steps -- Step 11

Heat Jars

While Bernice washes the carrots Paul puts the jars we will use inverted in a shallow pan with an inch of water. He will turn on the heat in a moderate temperature so the water will gently boil. This sterilizes and heats the jars. You should not put hot things in a cold jar. We put out more jars than we expect. We will put our carrots in pint jars. You may have to tip the jars from time to time in case the water is all drawn up into the jars.
