Why do people do this? My mother and I never have. Never had a jar that did not seal or spoiled jam.
If the acidity is right, which it will be if you follow the instructions, nothing can survive. Not the botulinus toxin or anything else.
I just make sure the mixture is boiling hot, work fast to pour it into the jars, seal right away, turn it upside down for 15 minutes, and Bob's yer uncle.
Snap-snap-snap down the line go the lids. Never a more satisfying sound.
