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.

[Linn]

These are unique and beautiful!

[Liz]

I would love to use them for my own flavored vinegars.

[Anna]

These jars are a fun shape!

[Ouida Lampert]

Kefir, after I mix it with vanilla and stevia.

[Diane]

I would make some vanilla in some and some BBQ sauce in the rest.

[Johanna]

Finally, some matching jars for my bulk purchasing and infusions.

[Sue]

Lovely jars! Great for gift giving,

[Priscilla]

I would love to use these for a new pickled carrot recipe I'm going to try.

[Sue m]

These are the cutest jars. I think homemade elderberry syrup would be cute.

[Michele]

I am inspired to try vinegar. Love glass storage.

[marcella]

Those are such cute jars! I'm really interested in trying to make some vinegar. I'd probably also use those jars for juices or syrups.

[Deb]

I would store water kefir or kombucha in these. Or maybe my green drink that I take to work with me in the morning. And I'd probably use these with an air lock when I'm making mead or wine and I just have a little more than fits in my gallon jug, if the opening isn't too wide. Maybe to store maple syrup out of the big bottle. It would be good to ferment the leftover juices in when making my cultured veggies. When I open the gallon of raw milk I like storing it in smaller full jars to make the shelf life longer. These jars are perfect.
A gift idea would be scented bath salts.

[DebbieKL]

Nice! I've always wanted to try some quick alcoholic drinks, like irish cream or lemonchello.

[Anne]

I've been wanting to make some infused vinegars and oils, and I think I'm going to try the Cranberry-Rosemary Vinegar from Fillmore Container's website. It would make a lovely gift, especially in these pretty bottles.

[Micheleh]

I would love to use them for your fruit scrap vinegar

[carol]

Oooh, vinegars, kvass, and syrups!!

[Jessica D.]

I would use these jars for a dry, ready to use mix for gifts, like vanilla pudding!

[Angie Felton]

Why is it the French always seem to have the most lovely items?!

[joan]

these would look beautiful on my new open shelving

[Christina]

So many things...rhubarb infused vodka and vinegar, homemade mustard, coffee creamer for my husband...

[Brenda]

Oo--I need a bigger jar for my vanilla extract. These would be perfect.

[Mary]

So many ideas, I'll start with vinegar

[Francine H.]

Those pretty jars would be perfect for homemade ketchup!

[Faith]

Homemade condiments! Infused oils, spirits, you name it! Gorgeous way to store spices as well :)

[jenn]
