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

I like the mini mold jars.
I love the shape of the tulip jars, but I tend to use the 5.4 fl oz. Mini Mold Jar the most!
I love all the weck jars, we so seldom see them here. If I have to choose just one I will say the 1/4 L juice jar.
Love all of them! The 1/4 mold jar looks perfect for sharing preserves- I can imagine using it at family brunches.
Oh I hope I can enter from Canada! My favorite are the mold jars because their shapes are so appealing to me, the 1/2 L one especially.
My favorite is 2 1/2 liter Tulip jar. I fill it up with blueberries for freezing
My husband would kill for the juice jars; I love the tulip jars – any size – they are all gorgeous!
I love the 901 1/2 L Deco jar. It’s such a different shape!
I like the 1/2L tulip jars! they are perfect for overnight oatmeals 😀
I love the 1 liter juice jars. Filled with orange juice, they make my brunch table mighty festive!
I did not know they had mini mold jars…they’d be perfect for spices.
I love them all . The tulip jars are my favorite…any size
1/4 L mold jars and 1/2 L mold jars. Would be great for packing lunches.
I love the juice jars!
I love the tulip jars — and have a few — but the 3/4 L Mold jar sounds so useful.
I LUV!!! the minimold jars. I could use them for all sorts of useful things. They have been on my wish list.
I love the 2 1/2 L Tulip Jar for things like sauerkraut. Its the perfect shape!
I love the tulip jars – such a pretty shape for preserves!
I’d have to say the 1/2 L Tulips, with the tiny mini Molds coming in a close second. The mini Molds are great for spices.
I love the deco jars! The 901 has an especially pleasing shape & size.
The 3/4 L mold jar for sure. So easy to get stuff out of and clean!
I love the 1/5 liter mold jar. They not only preserve jams, jellies and preserves so perfectly but make serving them at the table so beautifully. They look like a nice serving container without having to transfer to a serving pot. This is the first “canning jar” I felt I could bring to the table.
The big Mold jars — wide mouth, easy to fill: The most important qualities in a jar.
Tulip!!
I think the juice jars are my favorite. Something about them just screams perfect lazy Sunday…
I think the 1 L cylindrical jars would be so useful in my pantry!

I like the 1/2 L tulip jars. I want to eat the peaches right out of yours!
i love all weck!! But the mini mold jars have my heart.
I am also in love with the mini mold jars.
It would be wonderful to own a collection of these jars that I’ve only drooled over for ages. The tulip jars are my favourite, I think.
The tulip jars are my favorite. Yeah for Weck Jars!
I have never used a Weck jar, but I love the shapes of all of them. What fun it would be to fill with jams, juices and fruit this season.
The tulips are lovely!
I have to say the tulip jars are my favorite shape. Dainty and solid at the same time.
I love the Cylindrical Jars.
I love the tulip and the deco – I have a very difficult time giving these away with jam in them – I try to only use the Ball jars for gifts – sad
I like the tulip jars as well as the deco jars, They both look especially good for gift giving and the curviness appeals to me.
My favorite Weck jars are the tulip ones – any size will do! I could use them all.
I like the 1/2 L juice and tulip jars. The juice jars remind me of old school milk bottles.
My favorites are the cylindrical jars!! (What an awesome giveaway!)
I like the little jelly jar–it’s so cute and the right size for giving samples of canned goodies to my friends. Not too much just in case they don’t like it, but enough so they ask for more!
Loving the tulip jars! Great giveaway.
I like the Mini Mold Jars. Well, I guess I LOVE them ALL! Ready for the sub-zero temps to be gone so I can plant my garden!
the short mold jars look great for ringed fruits or vegetables
The 1/2L juice jar is my favorite. I love the graceful curves in the neck. All the juice jars are so pretty they could be used as flower vases.
My favorite Weck jar is 1/2 L Tulip Jar!
These are gorgeous! But if I had to pick a favorite, it’s be the 1/2-liter juice jar.
Love all things Weck. Current fav is 748 – 1 L Deco Jar.
I’m just eager to give them a try as I’ve never had the chance to work with them yet. But from the picture, those squaty jars could be jun for condiments like chutney!
