Vintage Style Mason Jars From Ball’s American Heritage Collection
How in the world could someone possibly get excited over a few glass jars? Sounds crazy, I know! However, it is possible that someone could fall in love with glass jars when they’re as pretty and as useful as these beautiful “sky blue” Vintage Style Jars from Ball’s American Heritage Collection. Especially when one can look as simple, classic and beautiful as this one does sitting on a kitchen table with a few fresh flowers in it…
Or when they add elegance and charm to other rooms of your home too!
Or when you finally have the perfect container to store your popcorn kernels.
Oops! That’s why the photo at the top of the page shows only five jars in the six-pack carton. I stole a jar for the popcorn kernels.
These glass beauties are also perfect for storing pasta, grains, or flour.
Or My Perfect Tomato Sauce, or even Oma’s Chunky Applesauce!
Did you know that you could store green onions, cilantro or other herbs in one of these jars for longer keeping in your refrigerator? It’s true! Just fill the jar 3/4 of the way with water and add the scallions or herbs. They will last much longer than in the produce drawer.
Can you believe that I purchased this set of six beautiful jars for only $13.61 from Amazon? So much hope, so many possibilities, so many ways to get organized, or to be creative…all for only $13.61. Now do you see how it’s possible to get excited over a few glass jars?
And there’s more…
They are perfect for storing freshly pressed juices and smoothies, as well as homemade spice mixes, salad dressings, soup broth, gomasio and tofu mayonnaise;
Or for sprouting grains or seeds,
Or for fermenting foods such as pickles or sauerkraut,
Or for making homemade kombucha or chia seed pudding,
Or for serving elegant beverages, such as mojitos or homemade lemonade, at a party…

Or for their traditional functions of preserving homemade jams, jellies and spreads.
Yes, these jars are certainly classics and are useful for so many things! I love the limited edition vintage style blue mason jars, but you may prefer the clear ones to accurately see the colors of your foods and juices. The clear ones might be better if you want to keep jars filled with pasta, grains, candy and other “goodies” for full viewing in your kitchen as decoration.
You would be surprised at some of the creative ways that people use these fabulous jars. In fact, I found several Pinterest boards devoted specifically to ways and ideas for using them. Click here if you are interested in viewing a Pinterest board entitled “One Million Ideas For Mason Jars.” You will be absolutely amazed!
Hope you enjoyed reading about my new purchase!
