NOTES & TIPS #8:
•
While the jars are cooling, a small
“

sound will come from the lids to
indicate the lids are sealing properly.
•
After approximately one hour, check to be sure the flat lids have obtained a
good seal by pressing down with your thumb; the lid should remain stiff with
no movement.
•
If you have not achieved a good seal within 2 hours, the canning did not work
properly and the ingredients will need to be refrigerated and used within 3
days or frozen in a freezer container.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
•
Carefully remove jars using special canning utensils or tools. CAUTION:
Jars are hot!
•
Set jars on a towel or cooling rack and allow to cool completely in a
draft-free location.
•
Follow recipe instructions on cooling and storage.
