I boiled the jars and lids so they was hot when I put jelly in. I guess the flipping upside down causes to seal properly. I know if long term storage past three months would probably be best to do canner or water bath. I usually only makes enough for family so haven’t tested past the three month mark
I thought you had to do the water bath not only to seal the cans but the boiling water helped to sanitize the whole thing.
