Ahh.   I understand the sealing process, do it all the time.   Have never 
refilled three times, though.   I generally use a pressure cooker (high 
elevation).   Haven't always been successful at pickles.   Will have to try 
the refill process.

> Why do you fill and refill the jars three times?

Doing so heats up the contents enough to make a sterile seal on the jar.  On 
a domed mason lid, the contents has to cool and contract enough to  draw down 
the dome in the lid.  The operation I describe puts enough heat into the jar 
and its contents to seal the jar.
