Glass mason jars in the freezer?

Aug 26, 2007 by allison | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

If I lack to use glass mason jars for storage, but don't want to do the whole canning take care of, can I just put them in the freezer the same way you could do with a tupperware typeface storage container (I'm thinking of doing it with tomato sauciness and stews etc.)

I wouldn't. Comestibles expands when it freezes and then you have an awful jam. Besides, jars take up a lot of space. When I'm freezing soups and sauces, I put in ziplock freezer bags, alluring care to get out the extra air. Then I lay them flat to freeze. You can then profusion them, or store them upright like books. I also sobriquet each one with the item and the date frozen.

Uptown Midtown

31.12.69

Midtown Eats, which just opened in August, has taken over Süp’s old location on South Virginia Street, meaning space is tight. The décor is rustic but in an upscale way, with a lot of distressed wood, tin and glass that reminds me of a fancy old saloon. My favorite part is the old liquor bottles hanging from the ceiling over Edison-style bulbs. The water glasses are Mason jars, plus a bottle of water and a small cactus in a glass jar on each table which adds some charm.

While I waited for my friend Megan to arrive, I chose a cocktail from the extensive specialty drink menu and went with the Stone Smash ($10), which comes with bourbon, peach, nectarine and mint. I will drink bourbon with damned near anything, but had never thought to try it with peach. Thankfully, Midtown had the smarts to do so because this drink is amazing. The Stone Smash is lightly syrupy, and the bourbon peeks out under the peach, nectarine and mint. I wanted to drink about five of them, but since Megan was picking up the tab, that seemed rude.

Celebrate health and local harvest by gifting jars of walnuts

31.12.69

We need to be thinking about holiday gifts already, so why not pour some local, super nutritious walnuts into mason jars with a list of some of your favorite ways to enjoy them? This easy gift idea is one that you can feel good about giving, as great health is truly priceless!

Shop smart

Since walnuts can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for six months or the freezer for up to a year, it is easy to support our local growers.

One of my favorite farm stands is Verdura Frescha, on Turner Road, just east of Davis Road. Jan and Richard Hust have been busy growing an array of wonderful produce all summer, and now have a fresh crop of walnuts (only $4 per pound!) and pumpkins.

Our wonderful "Pomegranate Lady" at the corner of Harney and Lower Sacramento Road is also open for business, selling walnuts that she has grown for $4 per pound, along with her pomegranates, persimmons, almonds and local honey.

The day began around 7:30am and everyone slept in. Well, not everyone, my suppress was at labour. The kids and I got up, ate breakfast, pore over the Bible, and went about our wont.
