Ball® offers a variety of jars designed specifically for the needs of home preservers. Certain jars, like those with straight or tapered sides, are ideal for freezing as well as for canning. Certain jars, like those with shouldered sides, are ideal for shelf storage. Most of our Premium Edition canning jars are not freezer safe. We are listing our freezer safe jars below, please leave ½ inch headspace when freezing in these jars. Regular Mouth - 4oz, 8oz, 12oz Wide Mouth - 16oz, 24oz

submitted bySPIDERXXX - 7 years agoA: TOO HARD TO DO. My previous answer was to discourage people from feezing liquids in Mason jars like they would plastic containers (these can swell.) There are a couple of ways, but they're too much work in my opinion. One is to put the contents in plastic bags first and leave a lot of expansion room in the jar. The second is to put the liquid directly in the Mason jar and leave an inch or inch-and-a-half at the top. Then you have to make the liquid very cold before you put the lid on. This will usually work, but it is a project. I still recommend NO, NO, NO unless you have a lot of time on your hands. Another thing about glass in the freezer is it is very brittle. You can easily break it by knocking another glass into it. It's brittle, not like plastics - which sometimes break also. In my expanded opinion, there's too much downside in storing glass in the freezer.

submitted bylenny - 4 years agoA: NO & NO! Glass cannot expand. It's brittle. If you put a liquid in the jar and freeze it, the liquid will expand and BREAK the jar - ANY jar. It's not a flaw in the glass, it's the lack of elasticity in glass. Plastic containers can expand and they should be used in the freezer. Notice how you never find glass containers in the freezer sections of the supermarket.

Fresh and Delicious Creations Start Here: Ball® Jars
Just one step beyond cooking, canning involves processing food in closed glass Ball®canning jars at high temperatures. The heat interrupts natural spoilage by destroying food contaminants and, at the same time, removes air from the jars. As the jars cool, a vacuum seal forms to prevent recontamination.
