I'm boiling my sauces and putting them into clean jars. Once cooled they go into the refrigerator. My batches are fairly small so it all gets eaten within a few months. I've never had any problems but I just want to confirm that my process is safe.
Should I boil my jars and lids, fill and then invert them until cool? Do I need to do the hot water bath? I've been assuming that my boiling and cold storage is sufficient. Thanks.
And FYI--I'm going to start with something along the lines of the Habanero Pina Hot Sauce because I've got lots of habs and that sauce looks awesome!
