"Screw slow and steady so as not to displace the rubbers" is not the most horrible advice I've heard.

And for best results, always use new rubbers. They seal better.

Oh, and a cup is a measure of volume. A peck is... well... a damned lot of green tomatoes. And 18 peppers is also a lot of peppers.
