To seal pickle jars, first ensure that the jars and lids are clean and sterilized. Fill the jars with pickles and brine, leaving about half an inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars to remove any residue, then place the lids on and tighten the metal bands until they're fingertip-tight. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for the recommended time to create a vacuum seal, then let them cool completely before checking that the lids have sealed properly (the center of the lid should be depressed).
