All of my batches before were brand new ball jars and lids. This batch was new “anchor hocking” jars and lids. They seemed lighter/thinner. Note to self... not going to use these lids in the future. With the shortage this last year, and subsequent price increases, my wife sourced me a bulk of some off brand lids. Seem stiff and solid, but now I’m worried.
If I’m looking at preparing, I want to be stocking quality components that I can rely on.
