[Syrupmakers] bottles,cans?

[bill gunter]

  You don't leave it upside down.  You do it to help it to seal.  It is not a problem if you use wine bottles.  Just a thing that I do to help the bottle seal.

  We have always used mason jars, clean jars that held store bought mayonnaise, pickles, ketchup, ect to bottle in.  We cook cane syrup in an 80 gal boiler and jar it while it is still hot (fairly soon after we take it up).  I have seen Mama turn jellie over to seal, but we have never done that with syrup...sure the hot syrup would kill anything in the jar it touched, but with bottles it would be more difficult to do.  We have never had trouble with foaming either.

     Good evening all,
   Just curious what folks are using  to bottle their syrup now? We used mason jars last year. Can’t seem to locate any of the tins we used to buy it in. Does anyone know of a source?
   
  This turning things upside down is a new one on me. Neither my wife , mother or grandmother ever did such a thing when canning that I remember.
