I never process mine in a canner, but you may want to try that step next time to insure that the syrup is fully processed. You may also try storing the sealed jars in the refrigerator. Again, I have never had any troubles with mine. The syrup is extremely hot when I pour them into the vey hot sterilized jars. That is the most important step in any canning especially if you are not going to process them in a hot water bath. I'm so sorry this happened as it's a lot of work to pick and then make it. If you are really hesitant to make this again....make and freeze it once cooled. Thaw in fridge before using. I've done that with jam and syrup when a jar has failed to seal. All the best!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617977766426840836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-44716111259904874632013-08-29T11:14:00.950-07:002013-08-29T11:14:00.950-07:00I need some advice for this recipe that i did and ...I need some advice for this recipe that i did and was so excited to try!

I have tried this method before and they always suction down and seal well for me. Make sure you have new lids for mason jars. Those lids also need to be heated so the rubber ring softened and then seals as the syrup cools. <br />I have also used this recipe using raspberries. I hope you try this and you enjoy.
