Duke,, truthfully I don't know Weck jars.I am so glad you saved the jars, it is only the one that has the deeper lid that will take the two piece ring and cap and you need the standard size not the wide mouth. Let me know if you get stuck I can send some.XX Jeannine
You have got me worried now, I just make jam and put in jam jars, washed, and even in drinking glasses if I have run out of jars. Then stick foil on top if I run out of lids, usually keep it in the fridge and try and eat it in weeks. If it goes mouldy, throw it. Still here but may check the fridge and do a bit of chucking, as I don't eat a lot of jam. Never give it away as know that I don't seal properly. Think I will start putting the fruit in the freezer and give up on jam making until I have all the proper equipment. Sometimes the shop bought jam goes mouldy in the fridge, once it has been opened, my Mum always used to scape the top off and we ate it, maybe we will lucky.
have a mix of both old and new bertolli jars. the new jar has a modern looking chunky lid and the older jar has a lid that looks more like a preserving lid but in one piece.
Does any one still bother to do all this? I shove stuff in the freezer for over winter use but that is as far as I would go. Often some remains when I am harvesting the next years yeild. Agreed in remote areas and certain parts of the globe it is necessary but for most of us, we grow to eat fresh and depend on the supermarkets to keep us out of season.
