Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 hey Blue Goose, I dont even wait that long when I need a jar!! I take the pickles out and repack them into quart canning jars, add a few more spices, cover with enough of the liquid, write the " start date and 2 week finish date " on a piece of masking tape, seal the jars and store them in the refrigerater. IF I can keep my family out of them, the pickles are ready to eat in 2 weeks and I have my jar already in use for kombucha. to health & happiness, Rae in Idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 When I was aquiring jars, I would buy the pickle one gallon jars empty the contents into 4 equal portions and give out the pickles to family, friends and colleages. I have about 15 gallon containers and I never ate one of the pickles.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Another idea -- one that I used successfully -- is to contact a local restaurant and ask about getting a few large jars. They always buy items like pickles, olives, etc. in bulk, and restaurants are often more than happy that they have less glass to get rid of by giving you some jars.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 These are all such good ideas! I bought a $15 jar at 's. Duh. Well, now I know. I just joined this list today, and it's already saved me money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
