If it's pressure canning, then definitely you need a new seal every time (unless they're the re-usable white one)s. For jam or chutney, get jam lids which fit the jars and use them instead - if you're popping something in a jar to keep int he fridge for a day or two, or it's something that doesn't need sealing (dry goods, for example, then you can reuse the seals2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used

Thanks to the tip-off about jam funnels. I'd been fannying about with a regular funnel; didn't realise you could get wider necked ones. Bought one in Lakeland last night; yes I know it's not a very MSE priced shop, but my reason for a diversion to that part of town were 1) print train tickets from my nearest station (machine out of order so not possible) and 2) buy my type of moisturiser (out of stock) so I felt I needed to buy something to make the trip worthwhile...They are an EYESORES!!!!0
