Canning Prunes

Heat Jars - 3

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 food in a cold jar. We put out more jars than we expect. We will put our prunes in pints. You may have to tip the jars from time to time in case the water is all drawn up into the jars.
