Ball Wide Mouth Quart (950ml) Glass Preserving Jars are ideal for fresh preserving whole fruits and vegetables like peaches and green beans.
Enjoy homemade pickles year round with the famous Ball Mason glass jars.
We find the wide mouth quart jars to be a very handy size and after regular mouth pints, we consider it to be the "must have" jar for preserving. They are perfect for summer stone fruit; halves or whole straight into the jar, as well as for pears and apples, preserved lemons, and much more. We prefer wide mouth quarts for our chunky soups and casseroles when we pressure can because not only is it easier to get the food into the jar, the clean up for messy foods is much easier if you can get your hand right into the jar. They are also an ideal size to make homemade yoghurt: incubate it in the jar and then pop a plastic storage lid on top to store in the fridge.
Suggested uses: juices, fermented foods, cocktail shakers, food preserving, glass storage, flower arrangements, candle making
Suitable treatment methods: dry storage, vacuum seal, fermenting, water bath, pressure can.
Each jar comes complete with 2 part lid consisting of a flat disk incorporating a seal (the lid) and a twist on ring to hold the lid in place for processing (the band).
Lids are recommended for single use only if the jar is heat processed using a water bath or pressure canner.
Bands can be reused. Lids are not stainless steel. Hand wash only. Do not put in dishwasher. Dry thoroughly immediately after use.
For preserving, we always recommend using a tested recipe such as those listed in the Ball Blue Book.
