"sounds like a punishment to me  "
Never said it would be fun. But surely that warm festive feeling people would get helping someone else would be worth it? And there might be some jam in it for the right person too.
Also making lemon curd if that helps. |

If you have a dishwasher and can time the cycle so they're still hot when the preserve is ready for potting they are sterilized.
You can also put them into a low oven to keep at optimum temp if you're not quite ready.
I made over 100 pots of jams and jellies last year that way and none turned. |

I don't have a dishwasher so no joy there.
I also make a lot of jam and pickles as well as wine etc, so know how to sterilise. Its just so boooooorrrrrnnnnggggg!
Oh well, next time I'll just make my daughter do it. |
