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.
Make sure to clean and sanitize the jars before reusing them. What went wrong: The jars wonât seal â the center of the lid pops when you press on it. What happened/what to do: Thereâs a good chance the jar has a nick on the rim, preventing the seal. Open the jars and check for nicks. If you find them, youâll need new jars.
