I've been looking around for the cheapest, safe canning jars. Ideally, I'd like to use Ball jars because all of the safe and tested recipes are based off that thickness of glass and those jar volumes.
I know jars like Wick are safe to pressure can in, but there aren't specific, tested recipes for things like meat and stock canning (which is what I want to do). People say just add a few minutes to the processing time, but botulism isn't something I'm going to risk.
Have other people had to bight the bullet and just spend about £4 per jar, or are there any alternatives? Are there any jars the same volume so you can follow the safe and tested recipes?
EDIT: For example Kilner jars, I can get these for £2.50 per jar. Have people had success pressure canning in these? The sizes look the same as Ball but I'm not sure, has anyone got both and can do a comparison?
I've read this: https://www.healthycanning.com/kilner-jars#Pressure_canning_with_Kilner_jars
But wanted to know about the volumes compared with the tested Ball jars.
