Hi Gary:
I don't need the jars for this year now as the harvest is pretty well all in the "bin" (so to speak) but I am sure screwed for next year. I have measured the lids that I cannot buy anymore:
they are 2 7/8 inch across (the flat metal lids that is). If there is a supplier of metal lids that makes this size or if it is close enough to fit and seal, that would be the way to go as I have about 8 dozen jars that are useless to me right now and when the full ones are used, they too will be useless. I was able to get some glass lids and rubber rings but I have had a lot not seal properly (and there is no way to tell if they lose their seal unless you take the bands off and check them every week or so.) I am still able to get the wide mouth lids and metal rings as well as the metal lids and screw rings that fit the little jelly jars. Quess I should be thankful for that, eh? Let me know how they measure up, ok? Thanks
