Thanks George. It is so neat. I am going to start looking for one. I
may even resort to Ebay.

Barb can have the first one I see. I have used the jar lifter I have
about a half-dozen times. She will get lots more use out of it than
I will.

When I teach, it's one of two items I tell my students they must have.
The other is a canning funnel. Everything else can be faked.

I saw a TV show a few weeks back (reality TV) where the mom was canning
blackberry jam. She didn't use a funnel and slopped the jam all down the
sides of the jars. I just cringed!

LOL OMG!!!

Re: Grip-Tite jar lifter

I never had much luck with a funnel and jam. I couldn't judge how
close to the top I was filling the jar because of the funnel and I
always made a mess when taking the funnel out of the jar. I switched
to using an 8-cup measuring cup and fill jar after jar. The hard part
this way is that the jam can splash when pouring it in.

Maybe my funnel technique is off, though. Any advice on using the
funnel? (I've got a plastic one and an aluminum one.)

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
my white plastic funnel has a line marked on the inside so I know to fill
the jars to there. Yes it true, when I take the funnel out of one jar and
put it in to the nest, there's jam transfer on the rims, but they get wiped
anyway.

I only use the 8 cup measuring cup for pouring jelly, for obvious reasons,

If this isn't too much fuss for you, Dave: Put the funnel into the jar
and fill the jar (using the funnel) to just about where the product
level touches the bottom of the funnel then deftly move the funnel to
the next empty jar and repeat. Go back and, with a small spoon, add
more product to the jar to your desired level (1/4" from the top of the
rim for jam and jelly).

IMO, practice makes perfect. (I also use a Pyrex 2-quart pitcher for
pouring jam or jelly into the jars. I can pour jelly without a funnel,
but fruit solids in jam are too unpredictable so I use the funnel there.)
HTH.

Using A Canning Funnel

Re: Using A Canning Funnel--What I do is use a "sacrificial jar" to
rest my funnel in--in between filling jars. It will catch the drips
from the funnel. A wide mouth pint works great. Plus, you can use
that same jar for what's left and won't fill a jar when doing back-to-
back batches of the same jam/jelly. That jar goes into the fridge
(after cooling) and gets used first.

Hey:) That is exactly what I do:)) I have never called it a sacrificial
jar, but I shall now:))
