Canning Jar Solutions

Canning jars come in handy for so many things. They are perfect not only for jams and jellies, but also for things like yogurt, dried fruit, and cereals. Recently I have learned a couple of new solutions that I have found so helpful in my kitchen that I decided I needed to share them with you !

 

This storage idea is so simple and it keeps my baking drawer from becoming cluttered and messy. These are paper mini muffin liners in a half pint canning jar. I also have full size muffin liners in a larger jar. Storing the liners in a clear jar makes them easy to see and keeps them from getting crumpled and lost in the back of my drawer. Plus, they look so pretty!

This second canning jar solution is so practical for storing liquids. I saw these lids originally at Owlhaven and I knew that I had to have them right away for my cinnamon syrup and coffee creamer. But, they would also be perfect for salad dressing, chicken broth, and chocolate syrup. I purchased a set of four with two wide mouth lids and two regular lids.
