Notes

For maximum shelf life, we highly recommend water bathing the filled jars. To do this, place jars in a large stock pot with a tea towel or cake rack on bottom of pot. Cover with hot water from the tap and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Leave in the water to cool, or very carefully remove the jars from the water with a jar lifter and leave to cool on your kitchen bench on a tea towel. Store in a cool, dark place and when you open each jar, transfer it to the fridge. This will last at least 12 months unopened, then approximately 8 weeks after opening.
