Our take on the Ball 1/2 Gallon Wide Mouth Mason Canning Jars, 6 Count

Ball's half-gallon wide-mouth jars are the large end of the canning lineup: 64 ounces per jar, with a 3-inch opening that fits whole fruit, long vegetables and a hand for cleaning. The wide mouth takes the same two-piece lid and band as other wide-mouth Ball jars, so lids are easy to find. They suit big-batch canning, fermenting, dry storage and bulk pantry goods. Against regular-mouth jars they hold more and fill and empty faster, but a full jar is heavy and tall, so check your canner and shelf height first.

Questions and answers

Are these jars safe for water-bath canning?
Yes. Half-gallon jars are approved for water-bath canning of high-acid foods such as fruit juices and whole tomatoes, not for low-acid foods or pressure canning.
Do lids come with the jars?
Wide-mouth jars take standard two-piece lids and bands. Check the pack contents, since some packs include lids and some do not.
Can I use them for fermenting?
Yes. The wide mouth fits fermentation weights and airlock lids, and the large volume suits big batches of kraut or pickles.
Will they fit my canner?
Measure first. The jars are tall, and a full load may not clear the rack and lid of smaller canners.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Yes, the jars are dishwasher safe. Wash lids by hand to keep the sealing compound in good shape.
How much do they hold?
Each jar holds 64 ounces, or half a gallon, roughly twice a quart jar.
