I was water bathing some hot pepper relish and I heard this ‘foomph’ sound. Looked in the pot and found this jar floating at the top and the water full of pepper pieces. Never seen a jar blow out like that.

Whenever this has happened to me, it seems to be temperature shock from not heating up my jars enough beforehand. It sucks.

Ouch. That stinks. I dropped one loading the dishwasher this morning, and it hit the jars already loaded and smashed. Not a great way to kick off an all-day canning plan. Got back on track, though, and the second batch is in the water bath now.

I’d keep that as a drinking glass forever and I’ll pay shipping if you are gonna toss it! It’s a good reminder

Sometimes I jar I’m reusing will have been man handled and damaged, but not visually. A micro crack, and that’s the one that does it.
