Yes, this.
You can test them, if you're still worried, by pressing down on the lid. As long as it is down, you won't be able to pop it up & down. If it isn't like that, I would say, if it moves, just put the jar in boiling water & reheat it, & it will seal tight for sure. (I grew up in a house with no pressure cooker, & a grandmother who did
everything in a hot water bath canner. Even
meat).
Or you could, if you find one is not sealed (but I am sure they are!), put on a screw lid & use them up. Or pour pariffine[sp?] on it which will seal it for months. (Both my garndmothers did all their jams & jellies & pickles with paraffine. Never had a bad one.
