About the Ball Wide Mouth Pint Mason Canning Jars 12-Count Box

This is a 12-count box of Ball wide mouth pint canning jars. Each jar holds 16 oz (473 ml) and comes with a lid and band. The jars are BPA free and made in the U.S.A.

The jars are used for home preserving with the water bath method for high-acid foods such as tomatoes, pickles, salsa, jelly, pie filling, jam, fruit and chutney. They can also be used with the pressure canning method for low-acid foods such as green beans, carrots, beets, meat, fish and poultry. Sealed jars can be stored in a pantry for up to 18 months, with or without the bands.

To can, fill hot jars following a tested recipe, wipe the rim, center a new lid and twist on the band until fingertip tight. Process the jars for the time the recipe specifies, adjusting for altitude. After cooling for 12 to 24 hours, press the center of each lid to check the seal. A sealed lid does not flex up or down.
