Ball Wide Mouth Pint (437ml) Glass Preserving Jars are ideal for fresh preserving recipes such as salsas, syrups, sauces, fruits and vegetables.
Ball's famous glass jars and closures are perfect for not only preserving but also dry storage and for decorative uses.
Ball bottles can be used wherever you might otherwise have used other brands of preserving jars: they fit inside most brands of stove top and electric units. They can also be used in pressure canners, with the advantage that you can double stack them on top of each other as the lid is flat.
When using the jars for preserving, make sure the top rim of the jar is clean and clear of food debris, place the flat lid on top of the jar and then screw on the band finger tight. The bottle is then ready for processing. After the food has cooled, you can check for a seal and you can store without the screw band which can then be reused for processing other jars. It is recommended that the band not be left on the jar during storage.
