minus-square@MalachaiConstantlink1•8 months agoI assumed the hot water was to temper/test the glass so it doesn’t shatter when you pour in the hot jam
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•8 months agoYou have to boil it after the jam is in there, at least that’s what my mother used to do.
minus-square@Passerby6497link2•8 months agoI think the boiling water would also be to help sanitize the container, but yeah, I’ve always boiled the container with the lid on but loose after putting the contents in and closing while hot to get the container sealed.
