00:00:07I’m going to show you how to sterilized

00:00:09jars now this selection of jars here

00:00:12I’ve washed thoroughly left to drain

00:00:15upside down with the lids on a clean tea

00:00:18towel so they’re as clean as I can get

00:00:20them before sterilization I’ve got

00:00:23myself here an aluminium tray can be any

00:00:26old metal tray as long as it goes in the

00:00:28oven that’s fine I’m going to take my

00:00:30jars place them on the tray not touching

00:00:38each other and then I’m going to pop

00:00:43this tray in a preheated oven at 180

00:00:46degrees so the trains go in the oven so

00:00:56the jars go in the oven at 180 degrees

00:00:58for 10 minutes know the lids obviously

00:01:04need to be sterilized to no point in

00:01:06sterilizing the jar and not the lid so

00:01:11I’m going to pop these in a pan full of

00:01:13boiling water for about the same amount

00:01:15of time

00:01:24nothing else in here

00:01:25apart from water turn upside down to the

00:01:30sink there after 10 minutes I’m going to

00:01:36take my tray of jars out of the oven the

00:01:42nice and hot and sterilized I’m going to

00:01:45pop them here and they’re ready to be

00:01:48filled with Jam pickle chutney whatever

00:01:50you whatever you’re making I put my

00:01:52clean dish towel there and out of the

00:01:55water with my tongs

00:01:57I’m going to pick my sterilized lids and

00:02:01pop them upside down onto my clean tea

00:02:05towel so here my clean hot sterilized

00:02:09jam jars and here I have my lids which

00:02:14are sterilized and ready to be screwed

00:02:16on the top it’s very important to clean

00:02:20your jam jars and make them as sterile

00:02:21as possible

00:02:22before you fill them with anything to

00:02:24make sure that there’s no organism no
