I used this recipe but I heated the jars in the canner, then put hot jelly into the hot jars, then into the hot canner. I'm so surprised and excited that these all sealed!

When I press down, the lid does not bubble or go inward. I also took the rings off after 24 hours and picked each one up by the lid to double check.

The only thing I thought was odd was that the rings were all very loose when I checked them after 24 hours – is that normal?

    The recipe you used isn’t far off from balls recipe, so not sure why exactly it was flared unsafe lol

    The rings are supposed to be very loose afterwards, so that’s completely normal.
