Tesco Daniel Boudel Jam - Jars
    #7590398 - 11/03/07 08:24 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Went shopping in tesco last night and on my travels round the isles, found this jar of jam



The shelf said discontinued so they are not gonna be around much longer i dont think.

If you are really want a jar suitable for PF tek with a screw on able lid (rather than using drinking glass,s with tinfoil lids) then these will be ideal, there wide mouth jars.

The only downside is they cost £2.99 per jar, im gonna pick up 1 or 2 every month.

The look to be more than 1/2 pint, could be closer to 1 pint.

Im just wondering if canning jar lids would fit these jars.

I found a company that ships to the UK for canning jars but delivery is $50.

I just went to my local grocery store and picked up a pack of 12 1/2 pint Kerr canning jars for $10 (marked down from $13).

I remember jars are a bitch to get in the UK. If I were you I'd forget cakes, which are shit anyway, and do grain. Then you don't have to worry about finding straight jars, so you'll have a lot more to choose from. (You also won't have to worry about RH when you get to that stage.)

A pound paradise shop should have some cheap empty jars.

Available in most major supermarkets in the UK and many other countries:

BONNE MAMAN jam jars. They work great, I have about thirty I have collected over the years. They work great for cakes, they slide right out. They are actually round inside even though they look octogonal from outside

Im fine with cakes at the moment, im not concerned with yeilds since im only growing for myself and if an occasional friend wants some. My cakes actually do alright and very cake has produced decent sized fruiets even if there wernt that many.

Infact my last flush went to waste becuase i couldnt eat them, (not got a dehdrator yet, i prefer them fresh anyway)

This is my current flush happening



the big one was the first to appear and has just kept going and now a 4 more pins have shown, im not sure what im doing but i always seem to get fairly big fruits. and thats cakes which havnt been rolled (seem to have a habbit of just dunking for first flsuh, then dunk and roll 2nd)

Im gonna pick up a few jars each month, i have great success with just using drinking glasses and tinfoil, the jars will be good for liquid cultures and when i get enough, it will look much neeter with cakes.

Well, the jars above work a treat for cakes. If you see them, grab a few and try, then tell me what you thought.

haha, another sly manufacturer's ploy to give you even less jam for the already extortionate price they're charging.

PS. maybe it's just the pic but those look tiny, like way under a 1/2 pint

I've got 1 jar, just need to eat the jam, i might empty the jam into another jar and test it out.

Its just annoying that i have to pay 2.99 a jar, i thought i hit the jackpot when i found a set of 12 1/2 ker canning jars for $12.

Then found out the shipping to uk was $50!

Just get a shroomery member who is coming to visit europe to bring you a dozen jars in exchange for staying a couple or three days at yours.

if you simply case grain (ie. not spawn bulk) then you can do as little as you like. Very similar to cakes, just without the need for straight jars or high humidity (or an FC if you want to get really down to basics).
