Hi Jo, In order to completely seal the jam jars it is advised to turn them upside down to push remaining air away. Hot jam tend to "expand" in volume. Then when the jam is cooled it get down and retracts. Vacuum is then created inside the jar, thus allowing a better conservation on shelves. I hope I explained clearly!
