What Jars Are Suitable For Freezing?

Reezing food is the best method to preserve vitamins and other vital ingredients in fruit and vegetables. I love storing some of my home grown produce and using it during the winter. Unfortunately we often use plastic containers or even one time use only plastic bags for this. There are many good reasons to avoid plastic products and wrapping, especially when it comes to storing and preparing food. So, is there an plastic free alternative for the freezer? 

A quick and easy solution to this is freezing in glass jars! This works much better than you may think. You probably have heard of breaking bottles before that were stored too long in the freezer. This gives rise to the common believe, that freezing food in glass jars isn’t possible or at least advisable. With some care and the right approach though, breaking jars are almost impossible. In this post, I’ll explain how it works and what you have to keep in mind for successfully freezing food in glass jars. What jars are suitable for freezing? Generally all twist off cap jars for jam, honey, fruit and vegetables can be used. I prefer round jars with a wide opening with a straight shape.
