Kathy – I usually take the leftover ham from Thanksgiving and/or Christmas and can it in 4 or 8 oz jelly jars. I use this size so that I have it available to use for beans or soups or any dish I need a little ”ham” taste. With the 4 and 8 oz jelly jars I can add that little bit of flavor and not have opened a large jar that I then have to do something else with.

Of course, if you are looking at canning ham to have meat on hand then you will need to go with a bigger jar.
