30min @ 100C for your jars.

sarahw I find that boiling my jars is more practical. If you don't match the temperature of the food with the jars, often the jars will crack. Also, you have to boil the lids because you can't put them into dry heat or the rubber seals will deteriorate.
By boiling you end up with jars exactly the same temperature as the food that is going to go into them and no guesswork.

I cook my beetroot whole in a covered dish in the microwave on 100% power for 10 mins, turn the beetroot over and cook for a further 10 mins on 100%power. Cool and peel and slice and put in a tupperware deli container and pour over a mixture of malt vinegar and brown sugar that I heated in the mircowave. I keep the container in the fridge , and in the summer time a full container doesnt last long! ! !
