lol @ Jaxson, I was selling a lot of my Quarts last year, I got enough for Pickles, Peaches, Tomato Sauce, and few extra's. I am switching everything else over to Pints. Its just going to be Daughter and me after Summer, so when the Guys get home I just open up 2 Pints
Does anyone have a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe? I want to cann some up this year.
I went to Salvation Army, Goodwill, and another used store...... not ONE JAR !!!!!! Michigan is hitting the canning pretty hard ...... even if you can find them used they want pretty close to FULL price and they get it too !
I think I sold mine $5 per dozen on the quarts I still have some but I wanted to keep those for tomato products mostly.
I haven't canned for years but I have made jams, jellys, orange marmalade, apple butter, salsa, dilly beans, bread and butter pickles, applesauce, plus I used to dehydrate fruits and make fruit leather and beef jerky.
Up here there are getting $ 6 =$ 7per 12 Pack .... I will keep mine, I bought a lady out last year for her Pints ( I only use widemouth)
This year I need Rings......lots of them dont like the pressure Canner and go bad ( rusty and black )
Wow Jasmin they are over $10 per case of 12 here even at the farm stores for quarts.
Broken welcome to the canning thread join in when you're able.
they are at least $7.50 for pints here. Quarts are higher, so I am with you, we wish we could get them for $6 or so. A sidenote: I was about to make crame marinera sause yesterday and found out I am already out of tomato sause. I ended up using a pint of commercial chopped tomatoes. It was good, I just didn't realize I was that low and we have 3 months before the canning season is with us..
Oh the Prices I put here was for used that was the cheapest I found & is what I paid when I bought them from the Lady.
I can get NEW Pints for $9 and $ 12 for Quarts BUT I always waited till coupons come out and get them .. wich makes them Cheaper
However sense I bought out the lady last year I doubt I will need to get any jars this year ! YAY!
Should have called I would have gave ya a Jar of Tomato Sauce
Oh, Just got Email from Ball more new Jars...... 1 1/2 pt. ! 9 of them for $ 12,99 ! OK now I have to admit I could SO use them,,,,,,as a Pint of Sauce isnt enough for me and daughter but a Quart is way too much ! MIGHT have to get me a few of those ! Just for Sauces...
I like the 24 oz. jars as well; they're good for sauce, tomatoes and pie fillings.
The 12 oz. jelly jars are good, too; I use them for salsa and applesauce.
The different sized jars look cool in the pantry; plus I have so many hand-me-down jars from long-gone brands like Hazel-Atlas of all shapes and sizes.
I think a 1.5 pint would work for me for some things, but I still will continue to use pint jars the most..
