Canning Lids Not Sealing Properly?I made salsa using my sister's recipe. She makes huge batches. She boils her jars for an hour in her roaster.

What am I doing wrong?
Can I Reprocess Canned Tomato Sauce?I have experience with jellies. This is my first time canning tomatoes. I made sauce with fresh grown ripe plum tomatoes, a little oil, onion, and herbs, plus a dash of Parmesan cheese. I simmered the sauce for 1 hour. I hot-packed 12 sterilized pint jars and did a 185 degree water bath for 15 min. They sealed well. I did this one week ago.
Under Processed Canned Spaghetti Sauce?I canned homemade spaghetti sauce in a hot water bath. I was to have them boil for 50 minutes, but I mistakenly boiled for 30 minutes.

I'm afraid of botulism, but doesn't the lemon juice that I added help prevent botulism?
