Giveaway: All the Weck Jars (really, all of them)
I get asked a lot of questions from readers about ingredients, techniques, and tools of the trade, but Weck jars make the top of the list for the most inquiries.
Made in Germany and distributed in North America by WeckJars.com, these pretty vessels are used in a dozen different ways in my kitchen. They are frequently featured in my Instagram feed and on the blog, which usually results in a flurry of questions about sourcing the jars.
Today I’m very excited to offer a giveaway sponsored by WeckJars.com. The winner will receive two of every single Weck jar available! That’s a total of 52 beautiful jars, in every shape and size.
Now one can hardly write a cookbook titled Brown Eggs and Jam Jars without obsessing somewhat over jars. I own hundreds, vintage and new, and they are used daily in my kitchen.
I can jams and jellies with Weck jars, stuff them with pickles and store my pantry ingredients in them, too. Salads to go? Weck’s 3/4 L Mold jars come in very handy for layered salads.
Today’s post showcases a handful of recipes from my cookbook that feature Weck jars. If you’ve already bought the book, you can bookmark these recipes to make, perhaps with a few jars of your own.
Above? My Rosy Grapefruit and Pomegranate Spritzers, presented in the oh-so-versatile 1/4 L Cylindrical jar, served out of the 1L juice jar.
My refrigerator occasionally shows up in my Instagram feed and even has its own hashtag, #simplebitesrefrigerator. It seemed only right to include a fridge shot in the cookbook too!
This image is from the chapter on Pantry Staples and features my Homestead Homemade Yogourt in Weck’s Mold jars. Also pictured, Strawberry Honey Jam and Quick Marinated Golden Beets, both in beautiful Tulip jars.
When one has access to fresh eggs as I do most of the year, homemade mayonnaise is a must for sandwiches, dips, and creamy salad dressings. I store mine in Weck jars of all sizes; above is the 1/2 L Tulip jar.
All Weck jars can also be accessorized with plastic Keep Fresh Covers for refrigerator storage. They are handy for easy access to pickles, applesauce and condiments like the mayo above.
But Weck jars are truly best for are canning all that is fresh and delicious in summer! I like their wide mouth jars that are easy to fill, and I stuff them with stone fruits like my Peaches Preserved in Honey Syrup.
WeckJars.com has a whole section of canning notes that are helpful for beginners. Be prepared to fall in love with their selection of canning jars.

tulip jars
The 1/5 tulip jars would be perfect for homemade yogurt! All the weck jars are stunning though…
Love the tulip jars, all of them!
My favorite are the largest size of the cylinder jars, I would keep flours and grains in them
LOVE the Tulip jars! How lovely they would be with jam and homemade butter next to some hot scones and tea.
Tulip jars are my favorite.
I like the deco jars the best. Such beautiful round shapes!
Deco jars! Pretty!
I just came to your website from Food In Jars. Yes, I love Weck jars! Especially 1L, Tulip jars. They’re perfect for canning anything tomato. Besides, they look gorgeous! All the mold jars are next favorite. LOL
I like the 1/2 L mold jar. I’ve never used Weck before but they are beautiful!
I love the shape of the 1 L Tulip jars,
I love all the weck jars! I have a particular fondness for the tulip and juice jars right now, though I’ve never had the pleasure of owning any. Thank you for the chance!!
I was all set to say the 1/5 tulip jar, until I checked out the web page. I had never seen the deco jars–and they are all so cute. I definitely prefer the 1/5 deco jar!!
I love them all with that fine rolled rim but the Deco jars are my favorite. I see them filled with brightly colored jellies like jewels shining on the shelf.
I love all the tulip jars but am kind of obsessing on the deco jars
I liked the 1L tulip jars
the tulip jars!
My fave is the 1/5 Jelly Jar, however their entire line is gorgeous.
I love those tulip jars too! So cute.
Omg! The tulip jars! Love them!
I love all Weck jars, but have not had an opportunity to use them – just have lusted from afar.
I think my favourite is the 1/5 L Deco jars. I can just picture my vanilla rhubarb preserves in them!
I have lots of little 1 oz mini mold jars which are super for kid snacks! And I love the deco jar!
I really like the juice jars! Perfect for homemade orange juice 🙂
I love the 1/2L deco and tulip jars!
The tulip jars! functional AND beautiful!!
Love the juice jars! And the tulip ones too!
I love the tulip jars, but there is something about the juice jars that always makes me smile. The juice jar just makes everything look extra special.
I love the juice jars!
I must admit I have never seen these jars, the look is so much more pleasing on all styles. I could use them for a variety of good designs and display. I began canning a lot more last year, not an expert yet in some fruits. Will try some different recipes this year.
Oh my. They are all lovely. I really like the tulip and deco jars. Beautiful lines. Thanks for the giveaway!
The deco jars I really like. Missed adding to my previous post.
I think the shape and size I would like to try is the mini mold 760 with a 5.4 fl oz capacity. I’m trying to figure a good shape and size to can apple juice or tomato juice serving size for the lunch of my kids. This one look great.
Ball, Bernardin 250ml is often a little bit too much for them, and shape of the 125ml is not really appeling for the purpose of drinking juice.
Picking a fave is like picking a fave child. But if I had to pick the tulip and the large juice jar.
I love the small tulip jars!
I like the 1/2L Mold jars!
I’m a huge fan of the tulip jars!
The tulip jars are my favorite- but really its hard to decide.
I love them all.. but tulip ones are cutest!
Deco jars! I am interested in learning how to can with the weck jars
I love all of them but the small tulip jars are definitely my favorite!
Honestly all of them are my favorite, but since I have never been able to afford to try them I would have to say that I lust after the wine bottle shape to try making homemade ginger beer in.
I love the 1 L tulip jars for fermented veggie storage.
my favorite is the 1/2 L tulip, because I do tend to make things in small batches and I can fit a ton of these in my fridge!
Love ALL the Weck jars for storing my homemade yogurt, sorbet, and granola.
Hi! I know the giveaway is old but I wondered, when you did it, where did you get all of the individual jars? I would like to purchase one of each but you usually find them in sets. Thank you!
