could i make it in the oven if i don't have a crock pot that's big enough?
You sure can! I responded to this question with instructions under "Bakingsince12": set the oven to 300F, place the jars in a large roasting pan or a tall-sided pan that can accommodate the jars while allowing you to have water in the pan that comes at least half-way up the side of the jars. Bake until the middles are no longer jiggly: you may want to check after 30 minutes to see how they’re doing and extend the cooking time, but check every 10 minutes or so, especially if you use smaller jars than the 8oz ones we use.
