Canning Question

You screwed the lids down too tight. If the lids are too tight, there is no way for the air to vent out properly. But, the expanding gas will find a way.

The jars that are sealed, I would not worry too much about. BUT, remove the ring and try to wiggle the lid from side to side. If it moves, you will either have to re can them and have mushy pickles or store them in the fridge and use them up. They will be fine in the fridge for months if not a year. If the brine molds, throw them out. There is no health risk in a pickled product.

I was going to imbed a link but, the forum is getting ready to transfer to a new format and it won't let me.

So, I will just paste a link. https://www.healthycanning.com/lids-...fect.%E2%80%9D

EDIT.... these are the ones I would worry about the most. Odds are they will fail when you remove the ring. And probably will anyway.

On further thought, throw them in the fridge and enjoy lots of pickles. This stuff happens from time to time. Better luck next time.
