you know, all my years of canning and i never used a water bath. sterilized the jars in the oven and sterilized the caps on the stovetop in water. poured the hothothot sterile canning substance (meyer lemon marmalade in one case!) into the hothothot sterile jars and cap AQAP. let cool. bam! sealed!
never had one get infected either. if the seal doesn't go down: 'fridge - eat.
