Use Dishwasher For Sealing Jars

With canning season coming up soon, this idea is for making jams and jellies. When you make jams or jellies, the last process is a hot water bath. I even got a Master Canner to agree with this method.

When you have put on the two lids and need to do the hot water bath to fully seal the jar, place it in the dishwasher, during the rinse cycle. It is a sealed container and the temperature of the dishwasher is sufficient to seal the jars. Save money and time.
