Kilner jars.

I went to the car boot market this morning to get me spring cabbage plants and bought a box of 30ish 1 and 2 pint kilner jars for £3.50. Most of the seals are nacked, but no problem I can make some. I am going to do some beetroot, onions, tomatoes and some cucumbers (gerkins?). That will take 10 jars maximum. What else can I store in them? My auntie makes all the jam and marmalade until such times when she can't anymore. I can give them away, and I will, no problem, but I like the idea of preserving what I can. If I give them away they will be full, probably of beetroot or onions. Maybe tomatoes, seeing as how they have started to ripen by the minute. Baz On our allotment site some years ago we had a half Italian lady (other half British... don't ask which half). She used to plant the whole allotment with plum tomatoes which she bottled in jars by the dozen, to share with family. Then along came the blight, year after year and she gave up the allotment. Eggs and baskets comes to mind! It was bad enough losing half a dozen plants, let alone an allotment-full! Pam in Bristol |
