Skim off any foam with a spoon.  
Immediately ladle into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Wipe jar rims and cover with 2 piece lids.  Place filled jars in a water bath canner on a rack.  Cover with water 1 to 2 inches above the tops of the jars.  Cover canner and bring to a gentle boil.  Process for 10 minutes.  (Check to see if you need more time for your altitude.)

Cut each circle into 18 triangles with a pizza cutter. Start at the widest end and roll each one in to a crescent roll.
