The message

Following on from an earlier discussion on jars for jam etc., I've
discovered this.


Jam jars from Lakeland: *£6.49/dozen
http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/product/3819_3818
Lids are extra! *£2.29/dozen plain white.


Total for 12 jars and lids = £8.78


Alternatively Morrison's have in their Budget range, similar sized glass
jars of curry sauce for 12p
£1.44/dozen including lid ( and loads of curry sauce for soup, stock, or
bin)


*The curry-sauce lids would be unsuitable to re-use for jam IME.. No
matter how carefully they were cleaned the
inner seal *carries a taint. *


Have you tried it?

You can also top off the jam with candle wax when the jam and the wax
cool you have a perfect seal
