Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

  • Wait, wait, wait!?! Wash it, then pour boiling water over it? Then put jam or whatever in the jar and it will be fine?!?

    I’m not sure you’ve got all the steps in the correct order.

      The hot water is to kill bacteria, of course you remove the water before you put the jam in. I have apple jam from 2022 canned using this method and it still holds, no mold and good taste.

      I’m wodnering what seems so odd in this procedure because that’s how I’ve been taught to do it
