This is homemade tomato sauce 😅 it came out great the last time I did this. It canned nicely but I didn’t even need to do that cuz we ended up using it literally that night. I’ve literally just pulled these out and am waiting for them to cool off before I throw them in the fridge. I really don’t know if I did this right but so far they’ve all sealed ☺️

For next time, I’m glad you found the subreddit so you can read the guide and make sure you can be confident you did it right!
If they’re properly canned you don’t need to refrigerate them. 🙂
You should probably find out if you did it right before consuming them…. also if you did it right they shouldn’t need to be in the fridge….
If you want to learn how to do this right, here’s a couple places to start…
1. Read the manual for your canner.
2. National Center for Home Food Preservation https://share.google/MvrcgK0HvnJG4VqHO
3. Use only tested recipes from trusted sources. Like Ball, Bernardin etc. and use their newest publications.
4. Don’t become set in your ways. As testing and science changes, adapt to new information. Just because someone’s grandma did it doesn’t mean you should.
5. Pick something simple and not expensive to practice with. So if you screw it up, you’re not tossing away a paycheque.
It’s a steep learning curve at the start. Don’t worry, you’ll get there.
I’m not even part of this sub because I’m not ready to can yet. It’s high stakes, I don’t have the proper equipment, and I’m bad at math. But someday, my time will come.
But I just love how helpful and encouraging every response has been, and how grateful and kind OP is. This community is so welcoming and just wants to give their knowledge and it just makes me happy.
