Some tested recipes provide separate processing schedules for pint and quart jars.

What to look for

Use only a jar size explicitly listed by the recipe and apply the complete schedule for that size, pack style, method, and altitude.

Product options

Ball wide-mouth pint mason jars

A compatible pint option for recipes that allow either pint or quart jars. Use the complete pint processing schedule; this 12-pack does not satisfy a recipe that specifically requires quart jars.

Safe-use reminder

Equipment does not make an untested recipe safe. Use a current authoritative home-canning process that specifies the food, preparation, jar size, canner type, time or pressure, and altitude adjustment. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s current instructions.

Before you buy

  • Confirm compatibility with your jars, lids, cooktop, and tested process.
  • Check capacity, dimensions, replacement-part availability, and warranty terms.
  • Inspect equipment before use and replace damaged or incompatible parts.
