Hot Sauce Bottling Help- Urgent!
in Favors
Hi guys... I hope someone can help.
I am getting married in 18 days. We chose hot sauce as our favor since my fiance is from Guatemala. I outsourced the task to my trusty sister who is good with food and I thought sterilization wouldnt be a problem since she's a nurse.
However neither of us know what is the best process. She says she knows from experience that you cant add hot liquid to a small container or it will explode. We have the little plastic lid that has the small hole and a plain plastic lid. There is no "seal" which has thrown us off. We want our favor to be safe.
Ive read that you can add the room temperature mixture to a sterile bottle, add the lid, and then turn upside down for 5-10 minutes for it to sterilize the top-- but that doesnt sound... technical enough for me.
Does anyone know anything???
