Jam - largest size jar that's safe to can?


Recommended Posts

All of my jam recipes list 8 oz jars (half pint) as the suggested size. I'm pretty sure I can process a pint size jar for the same amount of time and it will still be safe, but I'm not entirely sure. Question: can I make jam in pint or quart size jars? I'm thinking that's a NO, but I can't find any information. (I know it's here, but I've been looking for 30 minutes now and can't locate the info)

 

Any thoughts or links?

Also keep in mind that jars need to be consumed quickly once opened since there are no preservatives. Even with a large family quart-size jars would be impractical and sometimes even a pint jar can be too big to finish off in short order.
