Summary Because the recipe is kept in the refrigerator, the container you use must be immaculate. I encourage you to use glass canning jars (with the metal rims and caps) that you have to sterilize in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.When filling the jars, leave enough headspace for the contents to expand, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, or as recommended in the recipe. Wipe the rims clean attach the lids and tightly screw on the lids. Even with refrigeration, it's a good idea to examine food for signs of spoilage before eating it. If there is any mold or signs of other spoilage, discard the entire contents.
