Does anyone here know how to can vegetables and stuff?

I want to learn how to can. I have done some research but im wondering about reusing jars. I saved some Classico jars that say Atlas Mason on them. Can i use them or no? Also, do you have ot use fresh bought jars every time or can you reuse the specifically made for canning jars and just get new lids? Anyone with canning experience I'd love to learn from you . :)

Yes you can absolutely reuse the jars, provided they are in good condition and clean. They also have to be sterilized and it’s recommended to use new lids every time (altho if in good condition I will also reuse lids on occasion)…

You’ll want to make sure to get a proper canning book and follow it closely! Canning in general is not something you can or want to freelance as there can be significant health hazards from improperly canned food.
