Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 40 minutes (or 35 minutes if using pint-sized jars).
8. 8 Remove jars from the pot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Cool, 8 hours to overnight. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
