After 24 hours can you lift the jar by the lid? Remove the ring and
carefully position your fingers around the perimeter of the flat sealed
lid. Do this above a padded surface in case the lid comes off. If you
can lift the jar by the lid and it stays intact, you should be fine.

How full did you pack the jars? Instructions say to leave 1/2"
headspace but that doesn't seem like much to me. I think some folks
here leave an inch - that's more space for bubbling inside the jar.
Also, are you following instructions carefully for letting pressure drop
on its own off the heat and then letting the jars sit in the hot water
for 10 minutes after you've removed the canner lid?

I'll be watching to see what others say.
