3. Sterilizing the Jars

  • Immerse your glass jars in boiling water for a few minutes to sterilize them.

  • Let them air-dry completely.

4. Filling the Jars

  • Pour the hot tomato purée into the sterilized jars.

  • Add a few basil leaves if desired.

5. Sealing the Jars

  • Seal the jars tightly, then immerse them in a pot of boiling water for about 30 minutes to create a vacuum seal.

  • Let them cool completely before storing in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Important Precautions

To ensure long-lasting, safe preservation, check your jars regularly.
If you notice a strange smell, an altered color, or a bulging lid, do not consume—discard the contents immediately.

⚠️ Warning: Poor sterilization can lead to bacterial contamination (such as botulism). Be meticulous with each step of the process to ensure your preserves are safe and delicious.
