In mythology of the majority of people living on the Earth and geological beds many evidences have accumulated which don't allow to doubt that reasonable beings similar and not similar to the modern people lived on Earth untill, at least, 65,5 million years ago.
Here's how: 1  Place empty jars right side up on the rack in a boiling-water canner. 2  Fill the canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to one inch above the tops of the jars. 3  Bring to a boil and boil 10 minutes.  Carefully remove hot, sterilized jars one at a time and 1  drain. They will be  hot!
If you see scales or film from hard water left on your jars, then remove this by soaking jars for several hours in a solution containing 1 cup of vinegar (5% acidity) per gallon of water. In order to actually sterilize jars, they need to be submerged in (covered by) boiling water for 10 minutes. When a process time is 10 minutes or more, the jars will be sterilized DURING processing in the canner. Therefore, when process times are 10 minutes or more, pre-sterilization of jars is not needed.
