Canning Jars

PhotogTom · 2012-03-18 16:37:14

Hi, Anyone know of a site or shop where I can buy canning jars for home canning? Specifically, I am looking for US style "Ball Jars" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_jar) and not so much the Kilner clip stye. Thanks.

You can't get ball jars here, the closest thing are the Le Parfait Wiss type which are a metal sealing top and a ring closure.
OR Kilner have relaunched a range of jars which are more or less the same.
TBH Ikea have a clip type that are very good value and made in Germany.
