I bought some nice jars for making Xmas present chutney with the children (they have designed festive labels with wrestler motif - so not quite as Stepford as it sounds) from IKEA. I sterilised the jars in the oven no problem, but when I boiled the lids to sterilise them, they warped (plastic with some sort of metal trim) so I can't use them...
... or can I?
Is there something to seal the jars that can be done that is just as hygienic as the lids?
thanks for any advice you can give...
