15 Delicious Mason Jar Lid Desserts
- Put the ring side down. When making your mini desserts place the rubber ring side down. I couldn’t find much on what might happen but many wrote that they didn’t want to chance anything.
- Use old lids. Don’t waste a new lid for these desserts. The oven will warm the rubber rings and they won’t be good for canning. So use a lid that has already been canned with to save money!
- Wide-mouth lids for the win. Most of these recipes want you to use wide-mouth lids for the desserts.
