Prepare Canner

Put your water bath canner on your stove. Add your pint jars to the water bath canner.  Add enough water to cover jars with at least 2-3 inches of water. Start to bring your water to a boil.

Fill Jars

Remove your jars from the water bath canner one at a time using your jar lifter. Dump the water out of the jar into your water bath canner to ensure there is still 2-3 inches of water above your jars.
