Novice canning question
So to this point I have been putting my syrup in mason jars. The first few went in to the fridge without much thought. The last four I rinsed in very hot tap water, dried, then used new lids to make sure they sealed. I haven refrigerated them. Is that all I need to do for long term storage, or am I missing steps?
