∙ 13y agoPlace the jars right-side-up in the empty canner. Fill canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to at least one inch above tops of jars. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.
Remove from water using tongs and place the jars top-side-up on a clean, dry towel. Lids and rings should be boiled only a few minutes.
You need to sterilize all jars you intend to use for canning in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes or under. You do not need to sterilize jars that will be used in a pressure canner, nor jars that will be in the boiling water bath for longer than 10 minutes.

What is a boiling water canner?
Typically called a "water bath canner" it consists of a large cauldron style pan with a removable rack to hold canning jars. Once sterilized canning jars are filled with food items and brand new jar lids are placed on each (with reusable rings finger tightened around the top of them) they are placed in the rack and lowered into boiling water. Most items call for 20 minutes of boiling - directions are given with canning jars - and a specialized jar remover tool can be used to take them out one at a time and set aside to cool. As the filled jars cool the lids will vacuum seal to the top of the jars forming a slight indentation on the top and a "pop" sound. The food is now preserved for storage without refrigeration. The appropriate food for this type of canning is jellies, jams, pickles and NOT meat containing items which are "pressure canned".
Can normal jam jars be used for preserving food rather than buying new canning equipment?
No.
Is canning expensive?
It can be, but does not need to be expensive. Many canning items can be purchased cheaply second hand. Just make sure if doing so, that you inspect them. Jars should be free of chips and cracks. Rings should be round, unbent, and rust free. Once you stock up on jars, buy your canner, jar lifter or tongs, strainer, food mill, and other basic supplies, expenses are low. You'll need only to buy canning salt, new lids (always use a new lid per jar) occasionally you'll need to purchase new rings when your used ones become rusty, maybe sure-gel, etc. Getting started is when canning is the most costly; after that you can preserve food at very little cost.

How did people can vegetables in the early 1940s?
Canning in the early 1940's is not so different from home canning today. Glass canning jars are used along with a two piece lid. One part of the lid fits the mouth of the jar and is designed to seal under high heat. The second part to the lid is a ring that screws onto the jar to hold the seal in place until it has sealed. Jars and lids are sterilized before use. In the 1940's they would have been put into a pot of boiling water for several minutes. You can do the same now or use the dishwasher. The food is prepared to be canned. Most vegetables are cleaned and blanched, which means immersing them briefly in boiling water, then an ice bath. Fruits, meat and fish can go in as is. The jars are packed tightly so as not to waste space and then water is added to fill the jar. You can also add sugar to fruit. The lids are put on and the jars are immersed in a pot of boiling water. The length of time they remain is dependent on what you are canning. You can also use a pressure cooker for this step. Once the jars are done, they are removed with tongs and placed on a kitchen towel to rest undisturbed. Within the next several hours, you should hear the cans pop, which means they have sealed. Any jars that have not sealed within several hours can be re-done using a new seal or put into the refrigerator to be consumed within the next few days.
Do you have to wash new mason jars if you don't use them for canning?

The five founding Ball brothers started the company in 1880 in Buffalo, New York. In 1884, the renamed Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company began manufacturing yet another new product - the home canning jar. In 1887, the five Ball brothers moved their business to Muncie, Indiana, to take advantage of a natural gas boom in the Midwest. Great quantities of natural gas were necessary to make glass. Ball acquired the first of several small glass companies in 1898, and printed the first Ball Blue Book featuring home canning recipes and techniques in 1909.
