For the tomatoes...Red Enchilada Sauce. I found a recipe on allrecipes.com & adapted it for fresh tomatoes (of course I didn't write anything down) & then canned it. Came out great, I wish I made more before the tomatoes tanked

I have a question for you experienced canners. I have about 30 to 40 old mayonnaise jars. I have heard that it is ok to use these to can stuff in. I think I have done it before, but I don't remember for sure.

I have also been told that you should not use these for canning. I am hoping to can some apples for pie filling and would water bath them since I don't have a pressure canner. What do you think, would it be ok to use these jars?
Thanks for your input.
