Although they are about twice the price I love the Italian Bormioli jars for my jam...they are just so pretty and I love the single piece lid. In addition, the instructions on how to process jams are much different...wait for jam to cool, put in cool jars, put in water bath of cold water and process 10 minutes once boiling, leaving the jars in the canner until cool. Since I'm awaiting a double hip replacement next month, this is much easier for me to do and does not require prolonged times standing at the stove which is very painful.
My problem is, my strawberry jam, once cool has the fruit separated and floating on the top. Now, once stirred, it remains stirred and is fine but I find it unacceptable for gift giving.
I would prevent this with my ball jars by inverting them right out of the canner for 5 minutes and then flipping them right side up.
Does anyone know if I can do this with the Bormioli jars? Because they have one solid lid, I wasn't sure and wondered if the single piece lid is why the processing is different.
