Five jars total this year! I hate coring them, silly strawberries! Tastes delicious though. Two jars have popped, so hopefully the rest will as well!

A can can audibly pop when the lid seals and it means it's sealed and safe for storing at room temperature! They don't always audibly do it, there's ways of checking to see if they sealed later, but it's a very good indicator it worked! So hearing that pop is nice, I don't have to store them in the fridge because I know that one worked!

Oh, yes. They don't always all seal, for any number of reasons. The candied jalapeños I made a bit ago, 11 sealed but the 12th didn't, so that one went into the fridge to be eaten immediately!
