One of the benefits about being passionate about preserving food is that people give me things: Usually it’s extra fruit or veg that they can’t use, but sometimes… It’s canning supplies! I was lucky to be given a hundred or so of these vintage gem jars, which have a mouth size of 78mm. That’s between the more common mouth sizes of 70mm (small or regular mouth) and 85mm (wide mouth). The jars are no longer manufactured, but you can still buy metal lids and rings at large retailers such as Canadian Tire. Along with the jars came several dozen original glass lids, deep zinc threaded rings, and brand new, in box, rubber gaskets… In short, everything needed to can!
So, of course I had to do this.
Catsup, or tomato ketchup… I use the recipe from the Joy of Cooking.
Glad I can give these old jars new life.
