Ingredients

Paris – Back in the days when peanut butter came in glass jars, my mom declared these the best of all savable jars because they were large, sturdy and reliable.
She used them for storing bacon grease, for orphan buttons, and in the summertime, my
dad filled jars with homegrown cucumbers from his garden with vinegar and dill, and used them for storing nails and screws in the garage, too. I don’t think a jar was ever thrown out in our house.
Along with the Pierce family coffee addiction, I’ve also inherited the love of old jars.
to embarrassing to admit, but my boyfriend and I probably go through at least one jar of jam every week or so (he always puts a few big spoonfuls in his yogurt), and I save them all.
to the obvious money-saving appeal of using jars, they’re cute … especially the ones that I find at the flea markets in France. I like to think of it as recycling.
