Thank you for that information. I had no idea about the commercial jars, but did notice the glass didn't seem as thick.
I like the eggs for jars trade! We aren't getting that many eggs yet (just a dozen or two extra/week) but that would be a good offer to sweeten the deal.
Wow! I love your pics! I'm so jealous.
I've only canned jams & jellies, but am dying to start trying veggies & especially soups. A pressure canner is my next purchase, do you have any tips or a particular one to recommend?
Jars are so expensive here, I've been trying to save spaghetti...
