This post is in partnership withNewell Brands , makers of Ball ® Fresh Preserving Products . All thinking and words are my own .
Disclosure : If you rat from my article or make a leverage through one of my links , I may receive mission on some of the product I recommend .
Being aFresh Preserving ambassadormeans I have quite the collection of Ball ® Canning Jars in my kitchen ( and my larder , and my garage , and my laundry room ) … . so much , in fact , that many of them are used for purposesotherthan canning and preserving .
I care touse their miniature jars for storing spicery . If you open my kitchen console , you ’ll see plenty of jarful alongside our highballs and mugs as I love using them for drinks .
The pint jar are perfect for piddle ( we sometimes even block them for rimed pints of beer ) , while quarts full offresh strawberry mark lemonadeorwatermelon unslaked lime agua frescaare a staple in the summer . Mason jars are great for warm drinks , too , if you gravitate more toward the like of coffee bean , tea , mulled wine , ormulled cyder .
( I should tot up a disclaimer here that Newell Brands does n’t recommend set whip red-hot beverage in their Ball ® Canning Jars , so wait for yours to cool off a act before serving . you’re able to also lessen the chances of thermal stupor by swirling some hot pat water in your jarful to warm up them up first . )
To cushion hands from the heat , I have a few set of lanate koozies that enclose around my jar — just like those paper sleeve you find at coffeeshops , only the koozies are reusable and much , much cuter .
What varnish the deal even more is how easy they are to DIY . No knitwork or crocheting experience necessary , not even a sewing simple machine … all you need are wool socks , scissors hold , and phonograph needle and train of thought . ( You ’ll observe the full tutorial below ! )
Ball ® Canning Jar koozies are great gifts because of their crafty and practical nature , not to note how inexpensive they are to make .
you could repurpose erstwhile , clean air sock that may be wear through the heel and toes ( thereby giving your best-loved prints and patterns a second life ) or cull up a pair of new sock on cut-rate sale . I found mine at Ross Dress for Less for $ 4 for a pack of two pairs , so it come out to just a dollar per koozie .
I twin the koozies with the Ball ® pint - sized Sharing Jars , but any jar shape will work .
This labor makes a neat endowment for the holidays because it ’s unsubdivided to make ( even last - minute ! ) but still feels special . And because intellectual nourishment is often my go - to natural endowment for the vacation , I like to impart my favourite mulled cider spicery commixture to each jar , along with a impress recipe . ( In these images , I used myvanilla and bourbon mull cidermix recipe fromThe New Camp Cookbook . )
