As a homemaker who enjoys preserving food, have you ever caught yourself wondering about ways to use glass mason jars in the kitchen? Something that doesn’t involve canning? If you’re a true country girl at heart, you probably already have a few “jar” tricks up your sleeve! And here are 9 ideas that will spark the creative juices for you.
1. Jars for Fermenting Vegetables
While you can purchase containers for fermenting vegetables, glass mason jars combined with a canning lid and band make excellent fermenting containers. All you have to do is break the seal every day to release the CO² and your veggies will ferment to perfection in no time.
2. Store Your Homemade Jams & Sauce
Have you ever made jams and sauces in your own kitchen before? If not, I teach you how here. Jams and sauces look pretty in a mason jar.
3. Hold Honey or Sugar
Mason jars make excellent holders for both honey and sugar. Keep your “stockpile” in a larger jar and place smaller, wide mouth mason jars of each to the dining room table as part of your centerpiece.
4. Store Herbs and Spices in Small Jars
If you want to keep herbs and spices near the kitchen stove but still want to preserve their freshness, store them in these small 240ml glass mason jars. Adding a new canning lid and metal band will inhibit airflow and help retain flavors for longer.
5. Jars as Drinking Glasses
Because canning jars are tough, they make excellent drinking glasses that neither chip nor break easily.
6. Store Your Beans, Grains, Rice and Oatmeal in Jars
Large glass jars make excellent storage containers for the above items. While most of us like to keep our bags of bulk food tucked away in an inconspicuous place, we do still like having a decent supply of dry goods within reach. Regardless of whether you display your jars of dry goods in the kitchen or keep them tucked away in a cupboard, glass jars make excellent, mouse-and-bug proof storage containers.
7. Store Your Dried Nuts & Fruit in a Mason Jar
Mason jars make excellent storage containers for dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Whether you keep these items on the pantry shelf or pop them into the freezer to keep things fresh for longer, lidded mason jars are an excellent choice.
8. Hold Your Tea and Coffee
Jars make pretty little holders for both tea and coffee. It doesn’t matter if you use whole coffee beans or ground coffee, if you use loose-leaf tea or prefer tea bags. Storing any of the above in jars gives your kitchen a cozy, home-like atmosphere. And once again, jars with good lids will keep things fresh for longer.
9. A Flower Vase Mason Jar
Have you ever found yourself short a vase? Mason jars (especially the old, thick ones) make excellent flower vases. With their wide base, they’re unlike to tip over and the two paired together (flowers and mason jar) will add real country charm to your kitchen!
