Canned some green beans this weekend, using my favorite old-style Ball Special & Kerr Trademark Reg. jars! It's kinda fun to know you're using jars that are older than you are. Here's something to add to your "they don't make 'em like they used to" file: While removing the jars from the pressure canner, I had a lousy grip on one & dropped it. [:(] Thinking I did that work in vain & preparing to do cleanup as quickly as possible ... much to my surprise, the jar didn't break. [:)] However, the jar dropped on the edge of my glass cooktop - and broke about a 1/2" square chunk out of it. [:eek:] I have no idea if there's any way to repair that one - any ideas anyone?

Thanks Woody, I'll have to give it a try - is that something I'd find at Home Depot? -Tammy
