What happens here

After the processing time is complete, turn off the heat and allow the pressure canner to cool naturally until the pressure gauge reads zero. Do not rush this process by opening the vent or cooling with water. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully remove the weighted gauge (if applicable) and unlock the lid, tilting it away from your face to avoid steam burns. Use the jar lifter to remove the hot jars from the canner, placing them on a clean towel on a counter, ensuring there is space between each jar for air circulation. Let the jars cool undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours. During this time, you should hear a 'ping' sound as each jar seals. After cooling, check for proper seals by pressing the center of each lid; it should not flex. Store properly sealed jars in a cool, dark place.

Goal: Safely remove the processed jars from the canner and allow them to cool and seal properly.

with that so we'll slide our jars out of here nice and gentle and that is awesome looks great it's fairly normal to have a little bit of juice or water down in the bottom of these but they look absolutely great kind of shake the bubbles out and then we'll show you how we tighten the lids down over here on the table we'll let them cool off so when we set these out we want them to be spaced apart enough to where they can cool comfortably cool and you'll hear these little lids you'll hear that think that noise that you just want to hear when they're sealing up good they're all kind of pooched out right now and that's cool that's okay so the final step here with our jars is we're gonna snuggle lids down just a little bit tighter and we'll hold them with a and we'll tighten them with a towel I'll show you just like so they will spew out okay you may hear this it's pretty tight go just like to Snug them down all the way along one more time just like that now we have seven more jars all set up here for our next canning our next round of canning but I don't need to show you
