Have you ever tried recycled Classico brand pasta sauce jars?
We’ve been canning with them for years.

Good results in water bath and pressure canner.
No more failures than with store bought canning jars.

I think I did use those, one year....they take the regular canning lids (not wide mouth), right?

“Have you ever tried recycled Classico brand pasta sauce jars?”

I haven’t, mainly because I don’t buy pasta sauce. If I had a supply of the jars I might try it. Some friends did give me some Ragu jars. I never tried it cuz I was afraid if they weren’t tempered they might explode in the canner. Or worse, when I take them out.

They’re not FDA-approved. On the other hand I do lots of other fun things that aren’t FDA approved. Tattler Lids, canning Bacon & Butter. If I ever got it a batch I would try it.
