Create a vacuum seal on most regular or wide-mouth canning jar that locks out air - the enemy of freshness. This easy-to-use Canning Jar Sealer Kit fits on standard and wide mouth canning jars and is used in conjunction with MaxVac or SureSeal vacuum sealers that have a port for an external vacuum hose to keep goods fresh longer. Jar Sealer is not compatible with the MaxVac Pro+ Chamber Vacuum Sealer (SKU 1380). After cleaning and filling your jars (leaving at least 1" head space) and making sure the jar rim is clean and free of residue, place the proper sized lid over the jar opening. Next, place the proper sized Jar Sealer down over the top of the lid and jar. Attach the Vacuum Hose to the port on your vacuum sealer and insert the hose in the hole on top of the Jar Sealer. Use the canister function on your vacuum sealer to vacuum the lid to the jar. When the vacuum sealer completes the cycle, remove the Vacuum Hose and Jar Sealer from the top of the jar. The lid should be vacuumed tightly to the top of the jar and should not be easily removed. Vacuum Jar Sealing is not a substitute for heat canning. This method is to be used for short-term storage only.
