May I Ask One More Question ??

[Mea]

I made jam again yesterday. ( blackberry...yum ) The recipe calls for a quarter inch head space. Not really a lot room left. This AM, when checking the seals... one jar made a tiny "bink" sound when i pressed on the center. It did not "un-bink" and the lid is on snugly. No lifting the edge at all. I will put this jar in the frige and use it first.

 

Would that be considered a seal or the fact of the "bink" make it not sealed ??

 

 

I keep coming up with things that i haven't seen addressed elsewhere, and really want to know the answers. Thank You.

I am skeptical of jars that seal like that myself. I usually put them in the fridge and use them first.

Frig it should go. It needs to be a full vacuum seal, which it did not have. With a proper seal you could give the jar a good shaking upside down and it would remain sealed.

It very well would have come "unsealed" later on as it really did not seal on it's own. If you press it and then it seems to seal, it really has not.
