Mushrooms question

[ArmyOfFive4God]

All the recipes I've seen for canning mushrooms says pint of half pint jars. We only have 1 in the house that eats them. Why can I not use 4 oz jars? Or is it that that small of a jar isn't typical, & you're just not supposed to go larger?

 

Help, I REALLY want to do 4 ouncers

I can a lot of things in the little 4 oz. jars that calls for either pints or half pints. I just use the same recipe and process them like they are pints.

That's what I'm hoping, Jeepers. Thanks!

Yep, same time as for half pints or pints. Always safe to use a smaller jar, not larger.

I've canned alot of what I call "squats" ... for small amounts. We're only two people and sometimes things like speghetti sauce, chow-chow etc., are better canned in squats. I too process everything small as pints.

I usually go for the smaller sizes sometimes, too. I've never canned mushrooms, so I wasn't really sure.

I love love love my mushrooms and constantly on the lookout for discounts at my store, usually 50% or more off. My 99 cent store also carries them occasionally. They immediately get canned in those 4 oz jars, sometimes in half-pints, and sometimes into the dehydrator. I'm never short of mushrooms to add to meals.
