  • The lids of the jars you put in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes not in the oven
  • Make sure this is the 10 minutes before serving so that the jars are still very hot when your pour in the Lemon Butter.
  • You can put Lemon Butter on anything like Toast, cakes, muffins, bread or just eat it out of the jar!
