Put some peaches in a can and put the lid on, surprisingly. I put mason jars in the dishwasher (no soap), once they are good and hot, put your recipe in the jar (it must be hot), put on the seal and lid and listen for the popping to begin - once they make a pop noise, they have sealed.
Can you stack mason jars?

I personally only stack my jars two high to avoid too much weight causing seal damage.
