>>>What type of jar do you prefer?<<<

The cheapest... LOL

I have been getting mostly Garden Harvest or Golden Harvest I think it is... They are almost all made by Ball, and their parent company. I think I got regular pints for $6.50 last year. Wide mouth ones are more. (lids are more expensive too.)

I am already looking out for lids for 2010... I have 2009 ones already on hand.

Got your canner yet? Don’t do like I did when I bought mine... I had 125 pounds of peas that I was rinsing four times a day and keeping them with ice in spare refrigerator to keep them from souring as I waited for canner to arrive two days later...

LOL! That sounds stressful.

Ya know, I am for some reason, putting off buying the canner. I am buying jars and lids though. I think canning scares me - it sounds complicated, hot, and I can end up poisoning the family. So I am procrastinating placing my order....
