To be even cheaper, you could even just use a regular plastic zippered sandwich bag, frozen, and thaw it and cut a corner in order to use later. | |

They are plastic/silicone pouches, meant for baby food, and have a close-able screw-on cap, similar to a tube. You easily fill the pouch from the back (larger end), and there is a built in seal... | |

| Sep 15, 2021 at 22:35 | comment | added | Arthur | I found one video here. In this video they are filling a tube with an ointment that a little less fluid than, say, tomato paste. As to how well the process transfers to whatever you want to fill a tube with I do not know. (I am sorry that it is vertically filmed.) | |

| Sep 15, 2021 at 9:10 | comment | added | Chris H | If I was making a canning recipe and wanted easy delivery of small portions, I'd buy miniature jam jars, and probably end up over-processing them. Instead I freeze small portions. The downside of both these methods compared to squeeze tubes is that you can only dispense discrete quantities | |
| Sep 15, 2021 at 9:00 | comment | added | Chris H | @rumtscho not only that, but some products sold like this are rather risky ones (pureed garlic in oil, for example) where the guidelines are particularly important. If I could get the tubes easily I might consider them for jam to take camping (our guidelines for jam in non-commercial production aren't as strict as yours anyway) but not for many of their common uses. | |
| Sep 15, 2021 at 8:18 | comment | added | rumtscho♦ | Note that food safety requires you to only use recipes that have been tested and "certified working" for home canning. There are, to my knowledge, no home canning recipes for tubes. So, if you wish to comply with safety guidelines, you will have to restrict yourself to only packaging shelf stable foods in tubes. | |
