Put your jars in the oven to sterilise them and then put the hot sauce into the hot jars and pop on the lids. Label when cold.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-53812091403240944942013-06-15T10:56:50.367+01:002013-06-15T10:56:50.367+01:00oh you didn't share your recipe!

I had to call my mum and ask what to do :) You have a similar method, so its good to confirm the details. I'll be trying your recipe next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-55516003158817206802013-06-14T23:51:52.400+01:002013-06-14T23:51:52.400+01:00Your sauce looks lovely, find your method of prese...Your sauce looks lovely, find your method of preserving works very well for me too.

I'd rather have a load of pasta sauce than have to make twenty tons of green tomato chutney that will be given away because we barely eat it. I will make some chutney and will give some away but sauce is better. I can then use it in blognaise, chilli and curry so it makes my £2.50 investment into tomato plants well worthwhile.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-17301645712582060812013-06-14T21:10:24.117+01:002013-06-14T21:10:24.117+01:00Looks great.

They did say it would only keep for about six months and I found that to be fairly accurate. I used most of it well within that time but the two I didn't had definitely started to go a bit funny at around the seven month mark (one other jar lost its seal and although it looked okay when I opened it the smell nearly knocked me over so that went straight out after only a couple of months).Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-55050668522342298342013-06-14T19:26:51.675+01:002013-06-14T19:26:51.675+01:00We shall have to agree to disagree on this one I t...We shall have to agree to disagree on this one I think :-)<br /><br />Am making a batch of soup with similar ingredients, tonight.
