What is the best way to clean the lids?

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to seal tightly.

Ensure the jar rim and the inside of the lid are clean and dry. Check that the gasket within the lid is properly seated. Do not overfill the jar, leaving adequate headspace.

Glass jar has a chip or crack.

Discontinue use immediately. Cracked glass can compromise the seal and pose a safety hazard. Replace the jar.

Contents appear to be fermenting or spoiling.

This can indicate an insufficient seal or contamination. Ensure the lid was properly tightened and the preserve was processed correctly. Discard spoiled contents for safety.
