Low-acid foods like those need to be pressure canned, otherwise the heat isn't high enough to destroy botulism. The USDA has a really useful guide:

"Preheat the water to 140 degrees F. for raw-packed foods and to 180 degrees F. for hot-packed foods".

Water boils at 212 degrees F. and simmers at 190 degrees F.

So, put your jars in hot water.
