Giveaway: All the Weck Jars (really, all of them)

Hours Posted on Hours Updated on

I get asked a lot of questions from readers about ingredients, techniques, and tools of the trade, but Weck jars make the top of the list for the most inquiries.

Made in Germany and distributed in North America by WeckJars.com, these pretty vessels are used in a dozen different ways in my kitchen. They are frequently featured in my Instagram feed and on the blog, which usually results in a flurry of questions about sourcing the jars.

Today I’m very excited to offer a giveaway sponsored by WeckJars.com. The winner will receive two of every single Weck jar available! That’s a total of 52 beautiful jars, in every shape and size.

Now one can hardly write a cookbook titled Brown Eggs and Jam Jars without obsessing somewhat over jars. I own hundreds, vintage and new, and they are used daily in my kitchen.

I can jams and jellies with Weck jars, stuff them with pickles and store my pantry ingredients in them, too. Salads to go? Weck’s 3/4 L Mold jars come in very handy for layered salads.

Today’s post showcases a handful of recipes from my cookbook that feature Weck jars. If you’ve already bought the book, you can bookmark these recipes to make, perhaps with a few jars of your own.

Above? My Rosy Grapefruit and Pomegranate Spritzers, presented in the oh-so-versatile 1/4 L Cylindrical jar, served out of the 1L juice jar.

My refrigerator occasionally shows up in my Instagram feed and even has its own hashtag, #simplebitesrefrigerator. It seemed only right to include a fridge shot in the cookbook too!

This image is from the chapter on Pantry Staples and features my Homestead Homemade Yogourt in Weck’s Mold jars. Also pictured, Strawberry Honey Jam and Quick Marinated Golden Beets, both in beautiful Tulip jars.

When one has access to fresh eggs as I do most of the year, homemade mayonnaise is a must for sandwiches, dips, and creamy salad dressings. I store mine in Weck jars of all sizes; above is the 1/2 L Tulip jar.

All Weck jars can also be accessorized with plastic Keep Fresh Covers for refrigerator storage. They are handy for easy access to pickles, applesauce and condiments like the mayo above.

But Weck jars are truly best for are canning all that is fresh and delicious in summer! I like their wide mouth jars that are easy to fill, and I stuff them with stone fruits like my Peaches Preserved in Honey Syrup.

WeckJars.com has a whole section of canning notes that are helpful for beginners. Be prepared to fall in love with their selection of canning jars.

  3. I have a few of the Tulip style jars. They are my favorites and they are always in use. Would love to have a few more.

  6. It’s hard to pick a favorite. I love the juice jars. They remind of ones I have that were my grandmother’s.

  8. LOVE the mini-molds. I have a variety of jams, pickles, and preserves open at one time in my fridge so having smaller jars makes for more variety and space. They are also great for gift-giving more than one. This win would be a dream come true!

  9. ooh! The 1/2 L cylindrical jar! I love the tall, skinny look. Whew….trying to think where I would even put 52 jars. I’m sure I’d find room…that would be so fun to have such a variety.

  10. I don’t have a favorite shape of Weck jars yet. They aren’t carried by any store locally. However, I have been trying to decide which jars to try as I’ve been looking online. It would be exciting to get to try a bunch before buying more!

  11. Oooh, so tough to decide but the 1/5 L tulip jelly jars are my fav. So pretty. Thanks for doing this, WECK and hope I win!

  13. My favorite is the 080 Mini Mold jar, because tiny treats are just thing for a pick me up or making tiny spice mixes for transporting with lunch to work. . Plus, they are adorable.

  15. I agree, I love the 1/5 tulip jelly jar, so cute for jam or jelly. I also love the cylindrical 1/2L jar, perfect for pickled cherries!

  16. The shape of the Juice Jars is my favorite, but I think they are all beautiful. I didn’t even know Weck jars existed a week ago and now I am looking for any way to get my hands on some.

  21. They look so pretty! I’ve seen Weck jars (mainly online) but I don’t think I’ve seen them in stores around my area. :/ I like their mold jars though (mainly because how useful they’d be).

  28. I like the mini molds. I just signed up for a canning class in March- what luck to find this post just now! Must ask the instructor more about these jars….Thanks Aimee.

  46. I’m kind a partial to the Deco jars. By the way, I have one of those electric canners like the ones on their site. They work great.

  47. Love the beautiful shape of the juice jars but the tulip jars are also a fave. The smaller sizes are my fave to store yogurt parfaits or fruit salad in 🙂 Congratulations on the new cookbook and thanks for the giveaway!
