I didn't bother with the rack because the jars won't stand up straight with it in there anyway. There were only 3 pint jars in there to start, then one broke. When I put the last one in, I immediately started seeing stuff that was in the jars floating in the water of the pot. I went back in with the jar holder because I thought I had a lid on wrong or something, and everything poured out of the bottom. I strained out the the jalapenos and just kept boiling.

Now that the jars have been cooling, they both have sealed, so that's good. On the plus side, I'm trying a cheddar, jalapeno version of my no knead bread.
