Fill your jars, while still hot place a waxed disc over the pickle, then a clear (cellophane) circle over the top of the jar, and secure with a rubber band. As anything with vinegar can get through the clear top it's best to put a metal lid as well, over the clear cover.
A. Jars do not seal after pressure canning for the following reasons: â¢ Jars were packed too solidly with food or were overfilled. Allow 1/2-inch headspace for fruits and tomatoes, and 1-inch headspace for vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. This is necessary since food expands during canning.
