I use them for storage because of the cool pop-top glass lids, used them for jam a couple of times but the lids keep popping up like your lemons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16545942723638961199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-48289834126913799142011-10-12T12:27:36.264+11:002011-10-12T12:27:36.264+11:00Thanks for the hint Anon....I will try food oil ne...Thanks for the hint Anon....I will try food oil next time.nellymaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00290358658245310632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-38748169682650911782011-10-07T01:57:12.784+11:002011-10-07T01:57:12.784+11:00Sticky glue from labels?

Empty store bought pasta jars, pickle jars. You name it I get it for free. I have over a thousand jars in my garage. I believe in having a large amount so that when free food comes or other food I can store it up. Also, I can share the jars if needed. I still pick them up even though my supply is huge. I figure someone can use it, so let me not allow it to be crushed.<br />Hope you have a glass receptical there.<br />MelissaKids and Canning Jarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794388845414644018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-19752560329295549712011-04-29T23:12:54.685+10:002011-04-29T23:12:54.685+10:00I use glass peanut butter, honey & jam jars fo...I use glass peanut butter, honey & jam jars for dried goods like raisins, macaroni, lentils, nuts & rice. I have larger glass cannister jars too. I so dislike the plastic packaging everything seems to come in and try to get the goods out of that soon and into the glass jars and in my pantry. Maybe someday I'll replace my large plastic snaptop containers for flour, sugar etc with glass.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122656833028913453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-58499536106425343962011-04-29T21:48:05.051+10:002011-04-29T21:48:05.051+10:00I reuse jars for dried goods but we use special ca...I reuse jars for dried goods but we use special canning jars for preserving foods in the U. S. Our commercial jars are made out of thinner glass which might not withstand the heat processing we put our preserves through. <br />I buy the canning jars, but they are reusable. I also collect them from garage sales or thrift stores. A neighbor gave me a boatload recently as well:)LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155811529104728951.post-28933361593354689892011-04-29T21:02:11.589+10:002011-04-29T21:02:11.589+10:00Yes I use recycled glass jars and bottles.

I just wash them in hot soapy water in the sink, rinse well in hot water, then heat in oven until needed.<br /><br />I like to use pop top ones the most, just feels safer when they pop down lol.<br /><br />TaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.com
