Hello,

If i dont have this in the correct, mods please feel free to move, my question is on canning.
I would like to start canning more foods. especially the ones we are growing. I bought the large huge canning pot and utensils for canning etc.
I started my batches of strawberry jelly today. Went picking with my 2 little kids, :)had a blast, and couldnt wait to start canning.
I made the jam, set it aside. with brand new sterilized canning mason jars, I filled them. not quite up to the top. i waited for the water to be completely boiled and tightend the lids and placed them inside. it was kinda hard sinking them completly. this went on for some time.
I removed them (only processed 2 jars) , checked the top and it appeared to be sealed. it did not pop up.

awhile later, i checked on the jars. touched the top and it flexed. dang it.

the other one did not. can i try and do it again in the water? i put in the fridge for right now.
 
i have resealed them before. just make sure that they are not sealed and i would use another lid. I've done it many times.
