    boiling will destroy the botulism toxin (not the bacteria, though).

    if it is iffy, i would thow it out – where animals can’t eat it (or boil it for 15 min, then throw out)

    I would think trying to pressure can already sealed jars would damage the seal.

    only you are able to decide what risks you are willing to take with your life and health. if it were me, and ONLY me – i would probably boil it thoroughly and eat it anyway aslong as it didn’t seem off. but doing that has the potential to kill you if you got a bad jar in there somewhere and don’t boil it long enough.
