Someone I know is looking for very large (half gallon or larger)
"swing-top" type jelly jars--the type that aren't really used for jelly
making these days. They don't want them for preserving.

Does anyone know of any Internet sources for them?

I saw some 1 gallon jars like that tonite at Wal-mart. They were about
$12 each. I was considering posting something stupid here about what
the processing time might be a whole small turkey.

Didn't find them at any of those (esp. not in 1 gallon sizes) ...
canning stuff is harder to find this time of year around here, anyway.

I *did* find the proper name: ideal jars. Who'da thunkit. That helped me
steer to some local places.

Maybe not bale closures but hasp closures ... did the OP mean a wire
snap-down closure on the front of the jar that snaps over a corresponding
loop on the hinged lid? That's a hasp.

I haven't seen jars or crocks like these in gallon sizes for years, and
those were for legit pickling and preserving. Many smaller versions of the
design are available, but they're woefully cheap and sometimes they're
plastic. Strictly decorative, in my opinion, with zero sealing ability.
