He said to boil the lids for 5 min. (do I have that right, DW?), dry them with paper towel and place on jars. Then put the rings on loose before placing in oven. I was going to do the same thing, open jars in oven, then try to put lids and rings on, but this worked great. Just tighten them up when you take them out and wait for the pings as they cool down. Try it, it’s good fun!

Actually, I am surprised at how much enjoyment I am getting from planning what to store, searching for sources, and especially buying the jars and buying the dry stuff to go inside them. They look so pretty, especially with a colorful bean or lentil and pea mixture. I guess that's why the area I had allocated for storage is getting out of hand! It's like an addition - I keep wanting to hoard more and more and more........somebody has to stop me!
