 I love Kerr products!Jun 23, 2010
By Judy K. Polhemus
"Book Collector"
The Kerr regular mason jar half-pint is perfect for filling with fruit preserves to give as gifts--not too much to break a diet but just enough to leave the recipient wanting more. The jars handle well and--like all glass--will last a long time.
Why Kerr and not Ball or any other jar maker? That brings to mind an old story about the young bride who wanted to cook a pot roast for the first time. She cut off one end and put the larger piece in the pot. Her young husband asked about that action. That's what my mother did, she lovingly told him. So, yes, the next time they saw her mother, they asked, Why did you cut the end off your pot roast? Yes, of course, her answer was: Because that's what my mother did. When they finally reached the grandmother, her answer was: It was too big for my pot!
Tradition. What we carry down in our family practices --and that includes cooking-- becomes a tradition with unknown reasons. That's why I use Kerr jars and lids rather than any other. My mother used Kerr! (Edit) Make that: My 89-year-old mother still USES Kerr!

 DisappointedOct 10, 2011
By Jocelyn
We ordered these jars after reading the reviews, but we were disappointed with the quality. We were trying to can apple butter and in total 5 of the 12 jars broke in the canning process! We did everything according to the instructions and the way we have canned in the past, yet still the bottoms of 5 jars broke off. We were so annoyed because the apple butter was a two-day process to make. So disappointed in this product and feel like it wasted our time, not to mention that we lost so much of our preserve. Will not order these again.

Kerr canning jars.Jun 26, 2011
By Brigid
"Bridge"
These jars are eight ounces each and they sealed real well right after filling them with homemade jam. They also have a real nice design on the glass.
 Good, sturdy, ugly jarsJan 08, 2012
By Tylla Wolf
The jars arrived carefully packed, no dint, no crack anywhere. I washed them, filled them with marmelade and boiled them. All of the jars behaved perfectly, not a single one broke. I would have been over-pleased and over-joyed with the jars if I had used them for myself only; since I gave them away as Christmas gifts I wish I had picked a different design - the jars I bought were simply ugly, and the big 'Kerr' logo didn't help.
My advice: if you want to give them as gifts, go for the kilted design, if not, it doen't matter, Kerr are high quality jars anyways.
These are better than the Mason brand jarsSep 27, 2011
By Larry Ayonn
I bought these before I bought the Mason brand jars of the same size. The lids on these are a LOT better. Not much else to say other than that, I guess.
