I have some antique jars that work that way too though I won't use them for canning because antique jars aren't necessarily built to withstand heat from the hot water bath. But if yours are new, they're likely made to withstand heat. Do check with Anne, also with Ilva at Lucullian Delight. I'm SURE they'll be able to point you in the right direction, give you some good Svenska tips!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1156580356326226332006-08-26T03:19:00.000-05:002006-08-26T03:19:00.000-05:00I'm really going nuts... because it doesn't appear...I'm really going nuts... because it doesn't appear that anyone are seeling the kind of canning jars you are using (that to me are pretty) here in sweden, not even wihtout motives... what we have however are these glassjars with a glass lid that are attached with metal hangers, and you put a rubber part under the lid. I just don't like them at all... and still they aren't sold everywhere... (i used them for both my marmalade and my chutney)<BR/>i'm starting to lose my spark for this when just the jars are a soooo hard to find...Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590293352592555475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1156541059231156862006-08-25T16:24:00.000-05:002006-08-25T16:24:00.000-05:00I love love love pepper jelly!

Look for something called "canning jars" (what that is in Swedish, I don't know but <A HREF="http://annesfood.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Anne's Food</A> might). Canning jars are a combination of a glass jar, a round metal lid and a metal band that work together to safely seal the contents for unrefrigerated long-term storage. The underside of the lid has a special layer of thin rubber around the edge. When the lid is tightened with the band and the jar is treated with heat, the rubber seals the lid to the jar, preventing air and microorganisms from getting inside. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. Keep at it, with your tenacity, Lexi, I KNOW you'll figure this out!<BR/><BR/>PS I've been to Sweden a few times! In both winter and summer!!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1156510946478109122006-08-25T08:02:00.000-05:002006-08-25T08:02:00.000-05:00Just me again...wondering, because I can't find ja...Just me again...<BR/>wondering, because I can't find jamjars anywhere in Sweden (atleast not online or at the usual bulk stores we've got), but I could find honeyjars... can I used honeyjars or are there a big difference between them?
