When dishes come out of the dishwasher...they're sterile, arent they?

Cant I just run my jars, lids, covers and tongs thru the dishwasher
first, then fill them while they're still hot....instead of boiling the
jars and all in water?

It's time to make Christmas Chutney and I HATE the boiling-the-jars
step.
