Can I use old spaghetti sauce gl jars to pickle cubers?

All the recipe books/websites I have been reading have suggested the use of actual pickle jars (I guess they are synonymous with mason jars?). I love to reuse gl jars for whatever purpose I can possibly use them for (candles, incense holders, pen holder, growing herbs, etc) and I would hate to have them sit out for my next endeavor of pickling! Any one know if my sauce jars will alter the outcome of my pickles? Thanks!
