Home Preserving Jars In Australia
Here are some of our home preserves, as you can see we have used any and all jars, but now use "twist top" jars, we get them free, and while recycling is very green ... re-using with no carbon footprint is even greener.
So let's have a look at the different "Home Preserving Jars" available.
Check our "FAQ's" page for lids and jars too.
Re-Using "Twist Top" Jars ... like Dolmios, IXL, & LeggosValerie's favourite system, and very GREEN too.Ordinary jars from such products as pasta sauces and jams, from such brands as Dolmio to Golden Circle are being thrown out all over the country. Sure the glass can be recycled, but we wanted to re-use the jars themselves, saving a huge amount of energy in the recycle process, and therefore reducing green house gasses.

 Measure your old lids like this. The button on the "Pop Top" lids acts as a vacuum guide, if the "pop top" does not stay down straight after cooling you do not have a safe seal, and our advice is to either reprocess or refrigerate and eat soon. Each pack of 10, 25, or 50 New Lids comes with "Preserving Directions" and two of our own delicious recipes.
Our lids have a protective coating on the inside to help prevent corrosion and any food contamination. |
Recycle Most Twist Top Jars - with our Replacement "Twist Top Safety" LidsMany well known products are sold in industry ‘standard’ size twist top jars, with ...
The new replacement lids are economical, with most sizes of lids having the safety feature, of a "pop up button" in the centre of the lid, to show a successful vacuum seal.
Our "New Lids" fit twist top jars from these food manufacturers*, & many more.
* - Manufacturers may occasionally supply product in different jars, but we have checked these brands at the local supermarket recently.

"Screw Top" Jars.
 |
This system is ideal as you only need to use new lids, the bands can be used many times, and there is a very easy method of testing for a successful vacuum seal, simply remove the band, if the lid stays on the seal is a success. We have found that Quattro Stagioni, and Frutta Delprato Jars from Coles and Bi-lo, here in Australia, suit these lids and bands too. Unfortunately Coles do not supply replacement lids. |
Note:- We often get asked about Agee Jars ... unfortunately the Agee Jars made in Australia do not match any screw top jar profile currently available
Warning:- we have recently come across some fake mason jars

Fowlers Vacola Jars.
 |
Your grandmother probably used Fowlers Vacola jars and even possibly their processing units. The major drawback to this system is the initial expense of purchasing the jars, lids, and clips, which are reusable, with a single use rubber sealing ring. Once purchased this is an excellent system, although giving your preserves away becomes "high risk" as you may never see your jar again. |
