Jam reaches a BP that is much higher than water, so you don't really need to go
through that step. Invert the jars as soon as they come out, and turn them
rightside up after 15 minutes. That will do a better job of sterlizing around
the seal than any BWB.
For the jars themselves, you just need them clean. It's not like a low acid
food where something deadly will grow that you can't detect.
