French dairy jars - Fillmore Container giveaway

Things have been a mite crazy around these parts. I work part time with one of the local Austin farmers’ market groups and we hosted Sandor Katz, fermentation revivalist, last weekend at the Austin Fermentation Festival. It was such a treat to hang with one of my long-time food preservation mentors. Beyond Sandor’s keynote at the festival, we featured 12 local artisans and chefs who taught free workshops on fermenting various projects. I taught a workshop on fruit scrap vinegar fermentation, which segways nicely into what I did with this case of 16-oz French Dairy jars from Fillmore Container.

Raw, live vinegars make excellent gifts, especially holiday or housewarming, and they are simple and uncomplicated to make. Please visit this post, which serves as a home base for all the fruit scrap vinegar recipe posts and photos I’ve put up!

Thanks to blog sponsor, Fillmore Container, you can enter to win a case of these lovely jars for your holiday and future homemade gifting plans. I can’t wait for ideas from all of you on other ways to fill and gift them! Check out Fillmore Container’s recent post on making your own vanilla extract or this other great gift idea round up here.

The lids come in white or gold (and giveaway winner gets to choose their preferred color) and they maintain a tight seal thanks to the plastisol coating around the seal.

What a lovely shape! I'd like to fill them with pantry staples and line them up on my counter. Or in the fridge. They'd nest together so well in a line.

Beautiful infused vinegars and liquors!

Vinegars, definitely, would be my primary use of these beauties. But, I think also some shrubs and other alcohol based preserves...
