JAR SIZE

Choose from over six jar sizes. Some jars have shoulders while others have straight sides that work best for freezing. Your recipe will guide you on the recommended jar sizes. See the chart above for some suggestions to get you started.

MOUTH SIZE

The diameter of the jar opening determines the mouth size. Choose from either regular or Wide Mouth sizes. All jelly jars have a regular mouth.

• Regular mouth works best with pourable foods, such as jams, jellies, salsas, sauces, and pie fillings, or chopped fruits and vegetables.

• Wide Mouth works best with whole fruits and vegetables or when you need a large mouth for filling.
