I was going to use the plastic jars for storing some of my dehydrated food, but I couldn't get the smell of the food that came in the jar out.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-52759260115228284862015-09-14T23:10:43.175-05:002015-09-14T23:10:43.175-05:00I think pickle jars are about the only product in ...I think pickle jars are about the only product in glass anymore.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-23399761371857438162015-09-14T05:35:14.206-05:002015-09-14T05:35:14.206-05:00Harry...I remember "back in the day" usi...Harry...I remember "back in the day" using mayonnaise jars for canning pickles, or smaller glass jars for jam when we still sealed jam jars with paraffin, but now so many jars are made of plastic. I don't get many glass jars either, probably because so much of my food is home canned. I use them to store things like small sewing or craft supplies (pins, beads, etc.) or sometimes my dehydrated food, like the parsley I dried this summer. They work well for that.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-12278424814429117322015-09-14T02:05:47.770-05:002015-09-14T02:05:47.770-05:00It's a shame there doesn't seem to be any ...It's a shame there doesn't seem to be any way to use jars that you got jelly, or honey, or whatever in for canning. I keep all the jars I get ( I don't actually get that many) and store them in boxes in the barn. I use them to put hardware, and other things that have to be separated, into. But I wish they could be used to store food. No rings in the lids though, I guess that's the problem.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-66764988446256700092015-09-13T22:15:58.745-05:002015-09-13T22:15:58.745-05:00Rob...The tomatoes sure were the best thing, price...Rob...The tomatoes sure were the best thing, price wise. After I can another bushel next week, all I have left to do is apples. Then I think I will call it good. I'm tired. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-89052586984243742512015-09-13T21:59:50.939-05:002015-09-13T21:59:50.939-05:00The best thing to be caned yet this summer??

Hardly anyone in town has a garden any more, except for one fellow a couple of blocks from where I live. He has a beautiful garden and he cans and makes wonderful jam. I think it is nearly a lost art.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-77503259048576935202015-09-13T19:53:40.899-05:002015-09-13T19:53:40.899-05:00I remember when I was a kid, even the doctor's...I remember when I was a kid, even the doctor's and businessmen's wives did some canning.
