putting up honey

[catfishbill]

Hello everyone,starting to get some honey and wondering if you have to sterilize jars (pint mason) like you do for veggies before the honey goes in.thanks bill

i wash mine real good in hot soapy water.

I put all of mine in the dishwasher on a "light" wash cycle with heat dry.  Works great.

No "sterilization" needed, just make sure that they are clean (and dry) :roll:.

Honey is naturally antibiotic, mainly due to the high sugar content.  Over time it can ferment, but that isn't because of the jar.

I run mine through the dishwasher on the rinse cycle.
