Yes, I sterilize.

There are some other canning recipes on my DIY page as well (link at left). Thanks for the comment and good luck with your plums! I miss the plums we used to get off our tree in Utah when we lived there. Those were sour plums, the kind that usually are dried into prunes, but they were also great to mix-can with pears and apples. Made great jam too. :) You’re welcome. Yes, I sterilize.

I've got some plums to do. My Bernardin guide clearly prefers to hot pack version, which seems way to much trouble. I know my mother didn't do it this way! Presumably you sterilize your jars and lids, too. Thanks for the reminder about the simple way to bottle soft fruit. I’ve got some plums to do.
