It pays to really look them over to see if the top rim is in good shape, not chipped and even. What I do is use the ones I am not so sure about for things like refrigerator pickles that you do not seal and just leave in the refrigerator until used. Also if the jar has a regular size opening you can screw a saved lid from Parmesan cheese container and make a terrific shaker jar out of it for cinnamon sugar, flour shaker, or whatever!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212318928540111395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615714387718577884.post-15264920163068286632012-04-15T19:49:37.654-05:002012-04-15T19:49:37.654-05:00"doesn't" work to boil the lids!

I have helped and watched folks can, but just could not get up the bravery to do it myself.<br /><br />Today I made applebutter and canned it.<br /><br />I did learn a few things a long the way- 1)teen girls like to steal cups of it before it reduces to nibble on..2)really old jars(passed down from a great aunt)are hit or miss to get them to seal.. and if you try to boil your lids to sterilize them, well that does work! LOl<br /><br />I did manage 8 well sealed jars of beautiful and tasty apple butter, and despite being tired, I am already dreaming of what to can next!<br /><br />Thanks again!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017207805622932780noreply@blogger.com
