Chutney jar seals

I’ve bought some preserving jars from Waitrose and instead of the orange rubber sealing rings I’m familiar with they have white silicone (?) rings.

Does anyone know how to sterilise them? Google is not helping me.

I'd suggest putting in bowl and pouring boiling water over, leaving for about 10 min before using to seal jars. That's what I do with my recycled lids when making jam. Silicone should last better than the orange rubber which perishes after a while.

I never buy jars for preserving, just keep jars from sauces, jam etc, as long as lid is in good condition.

You could try Miltons

Thank you everyone. I used boiling water and it seems, so far, to have done the trick.
