I've been stocking up on canning jars. I've bought some new ones, and some new lids for old ones. I did buy a couple of boxes of old mason jars with galvanized rings from a guy on Kijiji. (A little bit of a rip off as I realized when I got home that they had removed some of the "better" jars from the boxes). I then went on a hunt for the red rubber rings so I could use them for putting down tomatoes and peaches. I finally found them yesterday at Canadian Tire and got 2 dozen. I'm glad I did as I was able to get a bunch more jars today from a very nice lady on Kijiji. Lorraine even delivered them (with broken fingers) and it only cost $10! What a deal...
Of course, some jars will become just decorative or storage. Stay tuned to see what canning I do this fall...

I like the jars in the last photo! I can't wait to see what you make. All I make is jelly.
