Most common newbie mistake in canning - filling the vessel too full, so there's no way for a vacuum to form for the seal!
Between my grandfather's gardens and ours we did a lot of canning this time of year! Currant jelly was one of my favorites - Grandpa Smith had currant bushes and we made some every year, clear and the color of dark garnets by the jarful. Sooooooooo much better than grape jelly for a peanut butter sandwich, too.
Oh,
My experience was so long ago it involved paraffin wax!

A few minutes of standing/watching and I probably could jump right in?
