I still hope I might and always look. A fruit special to me is $1 or $2 a kilo... but none so far. So thank goodness for the apricot tree and the trees around us. Now and then I see strawberries go out in giant punnets for $1 because they know they are all going to be too soft tomorrow. If I see some I will make a little bit of strawberry jam. Last year I got 3 kilos of cherries for $3. It made wonderful jam and I had to do it that day or they would have been no good! But it was worth it! xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-90545657022956311262014-01-16T21:01:30.412-08:002014-01-16T21:01:30.412-08:00Kaye thank you!

I started with old thick slightly green agee jars, you know the really old ones? the glass is really thick! I took fruit away on holidays from the freezer even. Leaving space for expanding when freezing is the important thing. I keep a shelf where things can stand up nicely too which helps. I guess one day I will have a breakage but not so far! xxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-53155820997108876732014-01-16T20:27:51.568-08:002014-01-16T20:27:51.568-08:00Annabel on Sunday, Coles had apricots for $9 per k...Annabel on Sunday, Coles had apricots for $9 per kilo.

I have some glass Decor freezer ware that can be put in the oven/microwave etc. but have never thought of using jars/standard glass before. <br /><br />Thanks Annabel, I look forward to coming by your blog every day for inspiration and such helpful practical tips.KayeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893434891123813140noreply@blogger.com
