Question. To seal contents, can this recipe be water bathed for at least 10 minutes?
The reason you would only water bath for 10 minutes is if the contents are already hot and you are sealing the jar.
There is no reason to seal the jar, there is little to no chance of it ‘spoiling’ with all the alcohol. If you are concerned about this, add more alcohol.
