I was looking at canning jars, since I want to get into canning this year. I was at Wal-Mart the other day and looked at what they have. They have Better Homes & Gardens jars, Kerr (I believe that it the name), and of course Main Stays (their brand). Which one would be the best to use? As far as price they were less than a dollar in difference across the board. Also, regular or wide mouth?
I am planning on mostly quart size and a few pint size.
I will be canning peppers, salsa, tomato sauce, and maybe pasta sauce. We eat a lot of pasta in my house, so I could make my own sauce and not have to buy it all the time. Plus I could use up more tomatoes that way. I have four different kinds of tomatoes in the ground. I don't even eat them. I was going to give most of them away, but decided to make stuff with them and can it. I will still give some away too most likely.
Also they have the 16-quart Presto pressure canner/cooker for $69.95.
