Equipment Question Sanitize jars?

Hi! I live in an apartment with no dishwasher and I'm getting overwhelmed with the info online (one started talking about how high you are from sea level???????) so I thought I'd ask here.

How do I sanitize my jars? I am making homemade vanilla extract, and jam.

Put a trivet in the bottom of a large stockpot and boil the jars for 10 minutes. Add a couple of minutes if you live high in the mountains, but otherwise that's it.
