BallWide Mouth Quart 32oz. Glass Mason Jars with Lids and Bands, Mason Jars with Lids, Great for Canning, Storage, and DIY Crafts

I've been canning for over 20 years and Ball brand jars are my go-to and worth the few extra pennies. Their glass is thick and sturdy and holds up without chipping or breaking for years with good care. Personally, I prefer wide-mouth jars for easier packing and easy access once opened. This size is great for canning peaches, tomato sauce, and pickled foods in larger quantities. While the flat lids are single product use only, the rings can be used repeatedly.

For years Ball jars and lids have proven their worth to me. I've never had a brand new jar be chipped (and I've bought cases of jars that were missing a jar due to breakage from being mishandled). Sure, you can buy cheaper, off brand jars and they do the job. But I've had a few break during processing, cooling down and even during storage. Not the case with Ball jars; you've gotta put some effort into breaking them. I've never had a sealing problem with Ball jars. If I've had a problem it was a bad lid (and those were not Ball brand lids). If I sound biased, that's because I am. My Granma, my Mother, my wife and myself have had good results with the Ball brand. And any time that I've used other brands, I usually end up disappointed.
