For Preserving...

How's this for Made in America? I'm sitting in my office with 4 cases (48 total) of Ball Mason Jars.

All made in the USA.

And all usually filled with things made in the USA, often things made in our own back yard.

At home I have more cases of these things, filled with honey, maple syrup, apple sauce, apple jelly, strawberry jelly, pasta sauce, salsa, pickled peppers.

The label on the case says, "Mason Jars for Preserving."

I think that speaks volumes. For preserving home-grown foods. For preserving a way of life. For preserving a little bit of Americana.

Thanks, Ball, for making these jars in the USA!
