If you find that you really enjoy preserving God,s bounty in canning jars as I do! Yow will want any good jar for canning. The only reason I buy Ragu pasta sauce is when it,s BOGO at Publix, you can stock sauce cheaply. But the most important reason for me is the jars and their lids make wonderful canning jars for my chili that I love to have on hand for taco salad or just a great bowl of chili. What you buy in a can in the stores does not even come close to the quality and taste of canning your own. Not to mention that it,s already cooked and just needs to be warmed up!
The lids on Ragu jars have a rubber seal if you just feel under the lid and yes I keep re-using lids that still have the rubber seal in great condition and the Ragu jars also. Also I do get some of my jars at the Dollar Tree Store when I open and realize that it has the awesome rubber seal.
And I use the old punch hand can opener to open my canned foods(the flat) side. And be careful not to bend the lid in any way so that I can also re-use my all purpose USA lids from Walmart. And they always seal for me as I follow the canning rules to the letter.
Now for cleaning the Ragu lids from the saucy smell, just wash with your dishes and then put water and baking soda into a bowl and drop the lid in for however many days it takes to not have a tomato smell.
Nor for the label on the jars that used to be impossible for me to soak and scrape it off. I learned this tip just last year 2019. You just have a small amount of baking soda and olive oil in a tiny dish and rub this paste heavily(lots of it) over the label on the jar and let it sit around in your kitchen for 3 to 4 days and then it will wash right off. If not repeat this step again! The photo,s will show past on jar and then a clean jar with the label off. Best of luck canning and preserving the freshest and best= tasting food for your family! As always Love and Hugs from me to you. #God’s-Bounty https://www.wisdomforpennies.com/
