I've been working on a habanero/ghost pepper sauce receipe and have previously been canning using heat fill plus waterbath processing but with the l2-piece lidded ball mason jars in 1/4 & half pint.
But now, I'd like to start giving the sauce as gifts while I'm still working the recipe, and was interested in the swingtop bottles. I'm not sure that the rubber gasket is what I want to put in contact with the sauce and if the swingtops can be successfully waterbath-processed. Maybe there is a swingtop with a poly gasket?
Or, is would I be better to go with a woozie and a metal lid. Can you heat process those and get the desired vaccum seal?
Any advice is welcome!
