With the economy at a strain, as well as our purse strings, I decided that a simple gift of my homemade apple butter would be the perfect gift for all this coming holiday season.

With this in mind, I went on the prowl, searching for the most visually pleasing and well made jelly jar out there. Well, as you have guessed, I found the Leifheit jars and fell instantly in love with their shape, color, and quality. Comparing the cost with all the other kinds of canning jelly jars, Leifheit jars are a tiny bit more pricier but mannnn oh mannnn their beauty and quality makes them completely worth it!

Another thing that made these jars even more attractive to me... they come direct from Amazon, so shipping was free!

The shape of the jar allows you to fit more jars into your water bath or canner. The glass is thick and beautiful. When these jars seal, you'll know it! The dome is super high, requiring the suggested heat and other safe conditions for canning. I have never had a jar that did not seal! Forget the little ping of other canning jars. Get ready for a loud pop! I love these jars, and they make wonderful gifts when filled with your canned goods.

There are three online retailers for Ball brand canning jars. They all charge shipping so that the jars cost at least $2.50 each. Leifheit jars are the only ones sold by Amazon. These are squat and good for pickled food instead of for sweet tea. The shape does make it easier to hold.

Leifheit produces quality products and their canning jars are no exception. Although pricey, these jars are attractive and make your canning efforts shine. Highly recommend!

Nice jars - exactly the product I was looking for. I had no issues with ordering and receiving the product and shipping was on time.

I ordered these jars to use with a food gift I'm making for the holidays expecting them to be a light blue color from the Amazon picture. They are heavy duty, nicely embossed but just clear glass not blue. I don't know that I would have spent the extra money for clear glass jars if I'd realized this. After going back and reading the description, I see that it doesn't say they are blue so I guess I should have been a little more aware but still, I think the picture should be updated. I need to get going on preparing my food gift so won't return them but if you're considering ordering these jars, just know they are clear.

...hard to clean. I had such high hopes for these jars. They are lovely as cannng jars go do not get me wrong however, I had not taken into consideration how difficult they would be to clean. This is more my own issue than the jar's really. I did not even think about it when I bought them. That said, I would buy them again just for their looks. They make great gifting jars.

The shape does allow you to nestle them together. They're darker in color than the US-made jars.
