Canning Lids: Regular vs Wide Mouth – Which Should You Use?

Whether you're preserving pickles, peaches, or pasta sauce, choosing the right canning lid is essential. The two main types — regular and wide mouth — each have advantages depending on what you're preserving.

What’s the Difference?

• Regular Mouth Lids: Best for jams, jellies, sauces, and liquids. Easier to pour from and seal tightly.

• Wide Mouth Lids: Ideal for whole fruits, vegetables, and large pieces of meat. Easier to fill and clean.

How to Choose:

• Use regular mouth for:

  • Liquids, sauces, jams, jellies

  • Long-term storage

• Use wide mouth for:

  • Pickles, whole peaches, asparagus

  • Soups or chunky stews
