Today I decided to make some jalapeno jelly (the boys love it so much with ham). All went well until I was wiping the rims to get them ready for the lids and rings. They were so hot I could hardly hold on and so I tried a towel. It just dripped it in the jelly. What a mess! I finally got all but the last one cleaned but when I took a hold of the last one it slid and was just about to fall on the floor so I grabbed it and it spilled all over my left hand. Mostly my pinkie and ring finger. Luckily I was close to the sink and could grab a rag and turn on the water. It didn't burn too bad but it really hurt and was very sticky. The best thing is, I didn't spill much of the last jar and I just heard the 6Th lid snap telling me that they are all sealed. SUCCESS! That is my favorite part of canning, the popping part!
