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.

I'd put my fridge pickles in them and store all kinds of dried foods. Would love to make vinegar's too.

I'd use them for flavored water or to try out making vinegar.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

So many options! Syrups, pickles, kvass, or just about any beverage!

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLindsay

I'm looking forward to putting vanilla extract in the jar!

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKristin Fish

I would use these for cordials and/or vinegars... Kefirs are on my 'need to try' list, too :)

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterBonnie St. Denis

Vanilla, infused vinegars and oils. Oh, so many things to do with these bottles. Would also be cool with homemade bath salts and a neat label or tag.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLeanna

I can think of all kinds of things I'd like to put in these jars.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterDaisey

I have so many things I could put in these jars! I would likely use them for kombucha or herbal tea on the go.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterTaylor Wingo

these look amazing!

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterkrista c

homemade hot fudge sauce for gifting!

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKathleen

I think they be great for different flavored vodkas to give as gifts.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAndrea G

Gorgeous! I've been wanting to start making kefir. These look like they'd work well!

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKrista

I'd love to fill them with home-infused liqueurs! And maybe baking mixes and vegan sauces, for gifts. They're so pretty.

November 20, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterSarra

I want to ose these for our homemade fermented apple cider vinegar and for my elderberry and rose hips syrup!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLynn Peters

I would be putting syrups in them. They are beautiful.

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterElaine DeRomanis

Beautiful! I just found my next diy project.

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterChristianne

How gorgeous! Would love to try the vinegars, but would also use them to make personalized snow globes or bath salts as gifts. Oooh, would also be perfect ton showcase coins from all the countries hubby & I have visited.

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLisa E

I make blueberry vinegar-these would be perfect for storing that, with the plastisol liner in the cap.

Thanks for the chance!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

I'm thinking kombucha, though I have wanted to make vanilla!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterRenee

I make a lot of fruit scrap vinegar, so would love to have these jars to fill with vinegar.

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterCaroline

these are a beautiful shape, I love the square body of the jar, and glass is a favourite. Thanks for the opportunity!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterJo

If I win, I'd be bottling vanilla extract with these lovely jars!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterTheGeek

Love the idea!!! I want to do that!

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Pickard

I'd like to try making a grapefruit-centric citrusy vinegar. I've been buying one every once in a while from a local olive oil/vinegar shop and I love using it in quick vinaigrettes, but I'd like to be able to make it myself instead of having to buy it.

November 21, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAllison (Spontaneous Tomato)

Cute jars! I could think of a million uses for those.
