Small canning jars

Recommended by Elizabeth Clayton Wester

How are we freezing homemade pesto? My house keeps a Strategic Pesto Reserve from the garden every summer, but big ice cube trays aren’t quite a full serving size, and the other containers we’ve tried just aren’t cutting it.

I use a mix of canning jars - from 4oz to 8oz generally, for freezing things like pesto! I find a mix pf sizes from single-meal to a week or two's worth tends to work well for how we use it!

“Don't bother with the smaller size. These are great for storing, but they're ideal for brewing an infusion (basically a super long steep) of tea overnight, then having a portable pot of tea all day. Don't forget to put a knife into the jar before pouring the hot water in. Pour the stream onto the knife, not directly into the jar. The jar will crack.”

“I use Ball mason jars very frequently in my artistic practice. I store paint brushes in them, use them to make washes out of medium and oil, use them for paint water, use them to trace circles, etc etc etc”
