It’s a new month and that means it’s time to mention and thank the current Food in Jars sponsors. These are the companies make it possible for me to spent time testing recipes, writing tutorials, and answering canning questions.
First up is Cuppow. They are the maker of the original mason jar travel mug topper and, more recently, of the BNTO (they sponsored last week’s awesome giveaway). Best of all, Cuppow is having a 10% of sale on all their products today (and if you buy four or more items, your shipping is free). If you want to get in on the action, use the code SUMMER2013 at check-out.
The second sponsor is Fillmore Container. They sell all manner of canning jars and lids, as well as a handful of books and jar accessories. They’re a family-owned business based in Lancaster, PA and they happily work with home canners and commercial producers alike. Look for another Fillmore Container-sponsored canning tutorial in this space soon!
My newest sponsor is Preserving Now. Operated by Lyn Deardorff, Preserving Now is both a website and school dedicated to helping people expand their canning and preserving skills. If you’re in the Atlanta area, make sure to check out her schedule of upcoming classes and events!
I am always delighted to welcome new sponsors to the site. Ads start at $75 a month. More information can be found here.
Really do enjoy the sponsors. There are never any interesting classes in my area.
Quick question, my taco sauce turned out more like taco paste (hehe).. and boy is it HOT. Any recommendations on thinning this out?
Just placed an order for a few cuppow lids and BNTO cups, can’t wait to try them out. Love your website. Just finished putting up corn for the year. Over 300 jars canned for the season, just need a few more batches of tomato sauce and pears!
Love Lyn from Preserving Now! Anyone in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend her classes. Her website has wonderful recipes too. Lyn directed me to Food In Jars!
I live less than an hour from Fillmore Container. My first visit was last Friday. A great company, very helpful, great prices, and I stocked up! I can’t wait to try my one piece lids.
Would love to try this! Always looking for new products for my kitchen to make chores easier.
I’ve ordered from Fillmore several times (woozy bottles for my homemade bitters) and they have both terrific prices and great service.
So glad to hear that you’ve had good experiences with them!
Hi
I’m here i the Uk wishing I could come on one of your weekend courses as I have just started bottling fuits etc. Do you know of a good book which explains how to use Kilner jars with clip lids for making fruit pie filings. I have been given some and have a large garden full of plums, damsons blackberries etc. I make jam lots but have never made jars with pie filing in and sadly tried following a recipe only to find the fruit bubbled and turned to alcohol / fermented after 3-4 days.
Any help really gratefully recieved.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if any books that offer details about canning in the Kilner jars with clips. There might be some useful information in this post for you, though. You can find some helpful information about canning pie fillings here.
