I usually run my jars in the dishwasher right before canning so they're clean and piping hot. But this day, the dishwasher cycle finished before I was ready to fill the jars. I should have put the jars in the canner to heat up. But I didn't. I used a warm jar instead of a hot jar so the jar cracked due to thermal shock. Hot food, hot jar, hot canner. Or cold food, cold jars, cold canner. #canningmistakes #canningtips #canningandpreserving #homesteadlife #farmmom | Wild Haven Farm

A clean jar smart storage = a canner’s dream. 🫙 Superb jars skip the embossed branding on the sides, so your food is the star. Perfect for gifting or adding your own decorative labels. They also come in sturdy boxes that are perfect for storage once the jars are filled. For those of us without a big walk-in pantry, having stackable, protective boxes is a huge plus - and much better than flimsy trays or just shrink wrap. Do you store your jars in their boxes, or do you keep them on open shelves?
