When you sterilise your jars for mincemeat you can't put cold mincemeat in hot jars will they still be sterile when there cooled

Hello,
As the mincemeat is cooled. Cooled jars are better. When they have been sterilised in the oven its just important that the inside of the jars do not get contaminated.
A good way of doing this is to let them cool in the oven.
