When my Mom was going through a quart of honey per week, we’d get a local brand that used normal canning jars, just with their label pasted over the “Kerr”. I considered those free jars.
I would bet there are other small brands that do the same, you just have to feel the label to check the jar underneath.
Here’s a twist on that: Does anybody know of a brand that uses plastic jar that would fit a regular-mouth canning lid? Not for canning with, but my blender has a blade assembly that fits a mason jar, and I’d like a few quart-sized plastic jars to make my smoothies in.
Mayonnaise and salad dressing jars.
