After cooling, three of the four jars sealed without a problem. The fourth jar is the one who's lid popped off during the canning process and 1/2 the applesauce left the jar. I didn't that that one would work!
I also know what I did wrong. Even after reading other reviews and seeing them make this same mistake, I've made it. Before canning, you need to loosen the ring a 1/4 INCH, not a 1/4 TURN. INCH!! I even reread the box to make sure I was doing it right and I did it the wrong way. Ugh. Lesson learned.
The best part? I don't have to throw a lid away and waste it because it didn't seal, just use it again!
Remember, the giveaway for your own Tattler Lids is open through Midnight on Friday. So if you haven't entered yet, do so soon!
I've always heard horrible stories about reusing the lids. I guess if the lid FAILS to seal you can also RE-DO the hot bath method with a new lid. Thanks for stopping by my site. It is wonderful to make the Garden Connection ( and canning!) with you!
