Part two of the pantry tour is all about our jars and preserving equipment. If you’re in New Zealand it can be tricky to find preserving equipment so today I share our collection of jars, where we find them and how much to expect to pay for them. I also share a little bit about the canning equipment that we use.
Hi, I'm Claire. My husband Lance and I, along with our 5 amazing kiddos have a small dairy farm in Taranaki, New Zealand. We are trying to live a slow, self-sufficient lifestyle, growing much of our own food off our small farm.
We look forward to sharing our journey with you as we take our next steps in our growing food endeavors. We'd love it if you subscribed to our channel, liked our videos and leave us a comment.

Just discovered your channel. Great to see more kiwis putting out this sort of content. Had the same jar lid / ring niggle with Kayes Kitchen pint jars (drove me nuts and they have been relegated to storage only). Love, love, love the older Agee utility jars and have amassed lots of them from op shops and Trade Me. Love me a jar hunt. I think the quart jar you have with the detail on the bottom is an old Nescafe coffee jar.

Thanks so much for watching. I haven’t tried Kates Kitchen but I haven’t heard great things. How cool is it that back in the day an old coffee jar could be reused for preserving.

Hi Claire! I'm from Auckland. Loved your in depth jars talk! Brilliant information. I've actually bought some AGEE Special 500ml jars from Mitre10 a while ago and really like that size. I know what you mean about the lid and ring they provide. Really liked how you explained the difficulty there. I've just now put these jars in the canner, and because of your warning was very careful to make sure the lid stayed on the rim evenly as I fiddled getting the ring on. But all went well. So I'm hoping for a good result when they come out of the caner. Thanks for letting us know what regions have more second hand jars. I had never thought of it before. So I'll be on the look out now for second hand stores if I'm ever in the Hawkes bay area. I'm new to caning and loving the food security it brings when you know the food won't spoil if the power goes out. All the best! Rebecca

Hi Rebecca. Thank you so much for your comment. I am so pleased that you found our video useful. I love canning as well and hope to provide more kiwi content about this over the summer months. Thanks for watching.

@@ballymullinfarm Thanks Claire for your nice reply. An update on my canning: I checked my AGEE 5 jars this morning after canning them yesterday. Interestingly, when I tapped the lids, three of them sounded good, and two of them sounded different. Those two had siphoned and not sealed properly once I took the rings off. I may have filled them a little too much for the type of contents I was canning, so maybe my fault. It was a raw pack Chicken meat cubed in Salsa Sauce with some raw chopped onion and no extra liquid added because the Chicken would also release it's water. But there is definitely a problem with those AGEE Lids with their Rings. So I'm going to sideline them and use better lids and rings next time. Looking forward to your next video.

@@rebeccatiller8413 wow that sounds delicious, it’s a pity about the lids. If you are ok with purchasing from Amazon ForJars lids are really awesome.

Very interesting! I know the price you pay for jars is steep there due to shipping costs, but I was totally astounded at the price for Ball jars there (I'm an American)! I hadn't heard of the Agee jars, interesting to me. I've picked up some Le Parfait and Weck jars, but am scared to use them, as I am used to the lid and band system, lol. :) Also, half-pints jars are called jelly jars, not quarter. I do have some quarters, but use them for dried herbs. Jelly here is fruit juice thickened by pectin, think it may be something else there. Half-gallons are only approved for canning fruit juices. :)

Also, what does "op shop" stand for? I'm assuming it is the same as a thrift shop here in the US? :)

@ballymullinfarm 27 дней назад

Thank for your comment. Agee Jars are NZ jars that were originally made in NZ but now made in China and unfortunately ones bought today are pretty poor quality. I have found using Le Parfait awesome.

@ballymullinfarm 27 дней назад

Yes that’s right. It stands for opportunity.

OMG i needed this video so much. Thanks! Also i have one of the lovely half pint i think ball jars with the pretty pattern on it like you held up and it has a ring but i cant figure out what top to put on it as it has a smaller mouth than an agee jar. Can you tell me what you use please? and where to get from. I really want to find more of these as they are so pretty and perfect for jam.

@ballymullinfarm 5 месяцев назад

The Ball 1/4 pint jars are a regular mouth jar. I have some Ball lids that I stocked up on before they disappeared from the shelves in NZ. I also use ForJars lids which I get from Amazon.
