Now that we have closed here is an archived post from the Ampthill Country Market stall blog...
The Country Markets are 'known' for their preserves, we make jam, pickles and marmalades. Most of the jars that we use are re-used. We soak the labels off, and put them in the dishwasher, and then ensure they are fully sterilised before we add our homemade produce. We top off with brand new lids and they are sealed so they will last a long time until opened.
So you can always pop your jars back to the stall, unfortunately we can't take those jars that have brand names in the glass, any we can't use we drop off at the glass recycling. And we love it if you have taken the time to remove the labels and given them a wash.
There are lots of ideas on the internet to re-purpose a jar, have you thought about giving it a go?
Here are a few of my favourites:
There are loads of ideas out there like this on the internet, and with the battery lights are much easier now:
