Using empty glass mayonaise jars

Awesome! Great job.

I save almost all of my glass jars, pasta sauce and jelly mostly. I canned a ton of apple butter using them last year with no problem at all. I even used the lids that came with them and they sealed just fine. Still have several left and they are still sealed up great. Gave a bunch of apple butter as Christmas gifts last year and everyone wants to be sure they are on the list this year too. LOL Cheap and easy gift that everyone loved. The jars work great for me.

I did the same thing KS.....but I know the pro's say you are not supposed to do this. I use them only for jam though......don't think I would even chance beans or tomatoes in them. They all seal (pop) just fine. Made a lot of jam last year......haven't poisoned myself....yet!!

I have never had a mayo jar break but oddly enough a few weeks ago I was canning some grape juice and had 3 mason jars break.

I try not to use the mayo.........back up only as I know the glass ones are really old.......since they are plastic now.

But had the same thing last year.........a couple of the old Mason's broke.....in the water bath.........that was a nice mess!! Am sure they were pretty old as they came from an aunt....just didn't know how old, so used them.

I scored a couple hundred canning jars from Craigslist a few weeks ago and there were some of those pt mayo jars in the mix.

I've been using them to keep leftovers in the fridge instead of my plastic containers that I can never find a matching lid for
