Jars: What Do You Keep in a Jar? Jam? Pickles? Jelly Beans?

Just why do jars feel so special? Well, it’s what they hold and how they hold it.

We talk to Andrew’s mom about making blueberry jam, Amy Dickens from Salt + Sage Catering about keeping foods separate and pickling turnips. Plus, we count all the jelly beans in Polly’s giant jar of jelly beans!

What are *you* up to with jars this summer? We want to see your jar projects! Check out the fun ideas below and share them with us on on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or TikTok.

 

Thanks to all of you who guessed the number of jelly beans in Polly’s jelly bean jar! And congrats to the four closest guessers - Simon, Miles, Abbey and Spencer!
