     Pour your sauce into the jars until they are 1/4 inch from the lid.
     Cover tight so that they seal. Let stand to cool. Lids should seal.
     NOTE: Another way to seal them is to pour sauce into jars and then put them into boiling pot of water for 8-12 minutes. Then shut off burner and let cool to room temperature. Once cool dry completely and they should seal nicely.

     Store your jars for up to a year for fresh flavor.

     Enjoy.
