Instructions: Glass canning jars are the most popular containers for pickles. they come in a wide choice of sizes and styles, and many people especially like the look of the old-style jars equipped with glass lids and wire-bail closures.

One problem with these old-style jars and also with the newer reproductions is that they sometimes do not seal properly. Always check them carefully for leakage. If leaks do occur, repeat the sealing process immediately.

By far the most popular and reliable closure for jars is the two-piece vacuum lid and cap.
