Canning Jars

Mula - 6-6-2017 at 10:42 AM

Used to find cases of canning jars every now and then at Saul's in Mulege, but don't go there very often anymore, so am wondering if there is any place else that might have cases of canning jars in Baja Sur.

Hope someone can give me a clue.

Thanks.

I think she has moved NOB now.... so not sure if anyone there would know if there are any unless Cliff is around...

we looked all over last winter for some and came up empty...
good luck

They were in the loft of her carport....Cliff would know if he's still around...I planted my green beans today!

even if you get old jars you STILL need NEW lids...you really need a source

Really?

Mula - 6-6-2017 at 03:32 PM

I was in the Ley in Santa Rosalia Sunday. What a disaster that store is . . . for being relatively new.

I was hoping there might be some from around La Paz.

Thanks for your help.

coppel...go online ...they will deliver to your door if they can get them

Mula - 6-7-2017 at 06:18 AM

Great. Thanks.

Will try Coppel and also Amazon.com.mx.
Forgot about that one.

The True Value in La Paz used to carry a good selection. I buy online for much better prices, especially on lids and normally get them by the case.

Mula - 6-9-2017 at 03:47 PM

Damn, I was just in the True Value today in La Paz. Didn't look.
I am worried about ordering online and getting here broken.
Who do you order through?

Check the big segunda in Chametla. You'll have to dig through the plates and glassware, but they usually have some.

Mula - 6-9-2017 at 04:34 PM

Great idea. Lids and rings are a lot easier to order online to be delivered.
Thanks.

Mula, are you canning produce, or fish? If it is fish, does anyone know if commercial 'tins' are available in Baja?

I have processed a lot of salmon in last thirty years, and metal produces a better, more durable product than glass does. I prefer to can rather than freeze my excess fish. Even with vacuum packing, the clock is ticking on the quality, and the temperature has to be just right for storage.

AKGringo,
I also the last 30 years in Alaska used cans rather than jars.
For both smoked and plain - Copper River Reds. I fished Chitina yearly!

But for the amount of canning now, jars would be fine . . And then there's just me now not the family and it would be white fish, anyway. . .

I went to Prosan last week in Cabo, they had cases of mason jars, 3-4 different sizes.

Mula - 6-29-2017 at 07:06 AM

Great. Thanks. I'll put them on my Cabo trip list.

fyi, do it best hardware has canning supplies on sale now. If you have some one in the States to get them, it is a very good time.

5.95 for 12 pint jars at the local...just did apricot chutney...
