Title: Reprocessing Unsealed Jars
Categories: Canning, Information
Yield: 1 guide

If a lid fails to seal on a jar, remove the lid and check the
jar-sealing surface for tiny nicks. If necessary, change the jar, add a
new, properly prepared lid, and reprocess within 24 hours using the same
processing time. Headspace in unsealed jars may be adjusted to 1-1/2
inches and jars could be frozen instead of reprocessed. Foods in single
unsealed jars could be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within
several days.
