  Put the filled jars in a water bath canner or on a rack in a deep kettle and add enough hot water to cover the jars by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars, covered, for 10 minutes. Transfer the jars with canning tongs to a dish towel and let them cool. Store in a cool, dark place.
