I was told not to, gives a false seal.. if left alone for 24 hrs upright you will know which ones have to be eaten/given away for quick consumption or the ones that can be put in the cold storage room..
So far its been pretty good.. I haven't checked the m today as they are ready... 24 hrs up and over..

My Grandma taught me to always do that. Seemed to have far fewer "snaping" of the tops. You know, when you press down on the lids if they pop up and down they are not sealed yet. These have to be either reprocessed or eaten sooner or put in the fridge.
My sister and I always wait till they have "set" before putting a label on them. If firm, they are "jam or jelly or conserve" and if
runny, they are labeled "Pancake Syrup".
