Seeing the Jar Half-Empty...

...or half full isn't the optimism/pessimism qualifier in this case.  We're talking about  thinking ahead--as in what to do with the jar when it is fully empty.
Maybe you're winding down the canning season and find that you were overly enthusiastic when it came to buying jars in the first place.  Or maybe your shelf of empty jars is gradually geting fuller as you are eating more than you're canning.  Either way, and you may wonder what to do with all those jars while you wait for canning season to roll around again.  If so, you might want to take a look at these things to do with jars that will keep you happily using your jars throughout the winter season. 

Happy adapting!
