Wipe Jar Rims and Apply Lids

we apply our lids so we want to take each jar and pay careful attention to the lip on it and make sure that the lip is absolutely clean and free of debris okay you can see kind of made a mess of some of these but we'll make sure that that lip is absolutely spotless clean we're just taking a dry paper towel and we'll go around and do all these systematically so that we don't miss one make sure they're nice and clean okay guys I get excited during canning season it really makes me happy to put away all of my hard work this is such a bounty of tomatoes and all of these tomato plants were planted from seed super cool now we're over here to our jars sterilization area I'm going to reach in with my little magnet and I'm going to grab myself a lid just like so I'm gonna take my lid over here and I'm going to place it gently on my jar I'm gonna go ahead and get all the lids for all the jars and get those going one more time pick it up like that don't pick it up with the seal up and what we're trying to do by warming them up there's a rubber seal a rubber gasket around that and we want to warm that up so that it gets a good bite what we're gonna do here next is we're gonna put our lids on and we're gonna tighten them down not super duper gorilla tight but fairly tight as tight as we can get them my hand and and we'll stick them over here in the pressure canner so nice and snug and when we get them back out we'll give them another little tug guys if you set
