If I didn't have the oyster jars, I'd use wide mouth half pints. Would be easier to pack and remove. I use a butter knife to chunk the tuna out of the 10 oz jars. Pints would just be too much tuna at once.

That's good to know, I thought those were pint jars. Where did you get your oyster jars?

Here's the pdf link from WSU extension service for seafood canning.

I haven't tried canning ground beef, but cubed meat for soups we'd use when I was growing up. It can be a bit dry mouth feel from the canning so I find it best used in soups. I put up several quarts this year.

I don't know what type of pressure canner you have but I love my All American there. It was well worth the extra cost. No gasket to worry about either.

I usually stop at Brady's Oysters on the way to Westport. They don't have any jars right now. Haven't for a while with how it's been.

I'm just glad I went on a lid binge back in March.

Thank you! I will bookmark this & check it out. I just ordered a bunch of Tattler reusable canning lids. A friend from Backyard Herds shared the information with me, I haven't used them before. Hopefully they will be here within the next couple of weeks, not sure I would use them for this application. Now I just need to find some wide mouth 1/2 pints, I haven't seen any.

I dug through my lid drawer because my uncle can't get lids. He mostly uses wide mouth and I don't usually. So I'm sending most of them down to him. It should finish up his canning season.

I bought quite a few several months ago, I wish I would have bought more!
