After being cooped up in my house during the longest winter ever, I’m ready to get outdoors and feast with my friends and family. I’ve spent the past few weeks assembling my outdoor entertaining equipment, and it quickly came to my attention that mason jars are the one item I can use to replace so many others. So, instead of purchasing a special cutlery canister, or a divided dish to hold condiments, I’m using jam jars for many of my summer entertaining needs. Here are some of my favourite ways to use jars of all shapes, sizes and colour.
- Drinking glasses
- Cocktail shaker
- Flower vase
- Utensil holder
- Straw holder
- Personal pie dish
- Individual appetizer holder
- Layered salads
- Whipped cream shaker
- Punch pitcher
- Matchbox (line the lid with sandpaper)
- Salt and pepper holders
- Votive candle holder
- Toothpick holder
- Condiment containers
- Popsicle mold
- Simple centerpieces
- Candy jar
- Powdered sugar shaker
- Breadstick holder
- Lemon and lime wedge holder
- Ice cream sundae bowl
- Jar lanterns
- Hostess gift (fill with homemade or store-bought treats, jam, or pickles)
- Party favours (fill with homemade cookies or caramel corn)
