Are You a Canny Canner
Do you get 100 per cent returns from your canning efforts. It isn’t always enough to do lots of canning. You may have 500 full jars in your cellar at the end of the season, but if 100 of these leak because of cheap or old rubber rings, you are only getting an 80 per cent return on your labor. Substitution may be all right when an item can be used up quickly. But when it comes to jar rings buy a recognized brand. The rubber is mixed like cake batter and inferior rings will crack and allow air to seep into jars.
