    you could try ebay? have you also looked at the Fowlers vacola jars? I use them and they are pretty good. You can also just use old pasta sauce jars too - they do just as good a job as the fowlers/mason jars. I use them more than the flowers jars.

    I haven't done any in ages! Just haven't had the abundance of fruit and vege like we've had in the past. But looking at the way the apricot tree has fruited we are going to have loads of apricots this year. And broad beans - going to have tonnes of broad beans too.

    I'll freeze them so I can use them like store-bought frozen vege. they are just blanched and then frozen. So not canning as such, but just preserving.
