Fillmore Container Jar Review and Giveaway
February 19, 2013 | Print | E-mail | Filed under canning, reviews & giveaways
If you follow me over at my business blog, you may have seen me mention that I’m going to be working with a jar distributor this year. That distributor is none other than Fillmore Container, and I’m very excited to be working with them! As luck would have it, I saw a link to them on my local extension’s website – and having remembered that my friend Marisa from Food in Jars wrote a blog post about their jars a while back, I asked her if she would be willing to connect us. They have been nothing short of amazing thus far, and I’m really looking forward to partnering with them. Not only will I no longer need to run to and from the grocery store every time I need a case of jars, but the jars themselves will be looking much nicer as well since the sides are smooth – a huge benefit to canners who love to label their creations without having the labels wrinkle from raised designs on the glass, or be forced into using a small label to avoid that problem. Similarly, their lids are blank – perfect for writing on with a sharpie if you don’t do labels or just want to remember what’s in the jar before you get a chance to make them.
Before I placed an order though, I was hoping to be able to review the jars I was interested in, which are these 8-ounce smooth-sided tapered jars (they also come in a 4-ounce size as well). I asked them if the jars would work with both conventional two-piece lids as well as one-piece lids, and they said yes, and even suggested that I try out both. Having never worked with one-piece lids before, I eagerly agreed!
The first thing I did when I received the jars was to unpack the entire box. It contained twelve smooth-sided jars, six one-piece lids, six two-piece lids, and a nifty little jar gripper with their logo on it.
Then, I picked up the jars, feeling the weight of them in my hand. I compared them with the Ball half-pint jars that I’m used to using, and other than the raised glass designs, they felt virtually the same to me. Good, solid glass.
I also inspected the lids. It seemed to me that the two-piece lids had a little more sealing compound on them than Ball jar lids do…I’m not sure if that will generally promote less seal failure or not, but I can’t see how it would hurt, and I certainly had no problems with the seals. The one-piece lid is shown on the left, and is a plastisol-lined lid with a button in the center so that you can easily tell when it has sealed.
To give the jars and lids a test run, I made a batch of marmalade. I followed my usual canning procedure and heated the jars in a large pot of water, and the lids in a sauce pan. Marisa has a great tutorial on canning with one-piece lids if you’ve never done it before, so instead of reiterating the steps I’ll just point you there.
Here is what the jars and lids looked like when I was done, top and side views.
All in all, I couldn’t be happier with these jars, and I can’t wait to start using them both for my home canning projects and for my business. Today, Fillmore Container is also offering a lucky reader the chance to win a case of the same jars! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post and tell me how you’d use these smooth-sided jars.

I have been wanting to make some jam but just haven’t gotten the courage. I’m hoping this year will be the year. I’m also wanting some 4 oz jars to store my spices. I will definitely check out Fillmore.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:27 am
I love to pickle any vegetable i can get my hands on…cucumbers, cauliflower, string beans, carrots, etc. These jars would be perfect! Canning jars are my husbands favorite drinking glass too.

I would put specialty flavored jams in them or can pimentos in them.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:40 am
I will probably use them to make some marmalade and lemon curd. Have to take advantage of citrus season!

I followed both Fillmore Container and Sugarcrafter on FB. I’d love to try canning with the one-piece lids.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:46 am
I am a new canner and would use these to make Cowboy Candy. All my friends love this stuff and the jars would look great. I am also very interested in one piece lids.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:46 am
I would start to replenish my jam supply, which was all given away over the holidays!
February 19th, 2013 at 10:46 am
These are beautiful! I’d probably use them for strawberry jam and put extra-fancy labels on because the smooth sides would let them stick.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:46 am

I have been dying to try making fermented foods and canning chili for quick meals. These look great, and the one piece lid is genius!
February 19th, 2013 at 10:49 am
I would love to use these for Christmas gifts! I am a graphic designer, so it would be very cool to be able to make my own, big labels for gifts
February 19th, 2013 at 10:49 am
Fig butter, pepper jams and horseradish! The horseradish is new to us this year and I’m so excited!
February 19th, 2013 at 10:49 am
I love the look of these. I like to simply show off what’s in the jar (who needs a quilt pattern when you’ve got delicious berry jams to see?) Can’t wait for berry season!

I’ve been wanting to make a batch of banana rum butter, and these smooth sided jars with the one piece lids would be fantastic for that. Banana butter is a good winter canning treat.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:54 am
I was just thinking yesterday that I need to look into jars to send out homemade lotions and such to friends. I know it is not for food but these would work perfectly.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:57 am
I would use them to make little yogurts for my girls. Or Jam. The jars might even be good for my husbands homemade beard conditioner.
February 19th, 2013 at 10:57 am
Oh, these are lovely looking jars. I am a pretty avid canner and have started to want straight sided jars – much better for labels. I would use these for jam, or maybe pickled beets.

I have been wanting to try one piece lids! Oh and smooth jars, next I’ll be wanting hexagonal shaped jars
I still have some frozen blackberry juice in the freezer that I need to convert to jelly. The bags of meyer lemons have arrived at the grocery store I should give lemon marmalade a whirl..
February 19th, 2013 at 11:00 am
I would use these jars to put up some of my favorite zucchini relish!
February 19th, 2013 at 11:00 am
We are putting in raised beds this year and hoping for a bit more temperate summer so we can do lots of putting up of our tomatoes, pickles, peppers, and in several years crab apple jelly just like my grandmother used to make. I miss it so much.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:01 am
I make and gift jam all the time. It’s a sad truth that some people just don’t give those jars back. :-/
February 19th, 2013 at 11:01 am
Raspberry jam!
February 19th, 2013 at 11:01 am
I would fill them with my strawberry jam – the color would look great in the smooth jars! Thanks for the opportunity!
February 19th, 2013 at 11:01 am
I love these smooth-sided jars – it makes labelling and removing labels 1000x easier! My business partner and I already agreed that Fillmore Jars would be our new jar vendor. While we love the smooth-sided hex jars we got from another vendor for our jams and spreads 1) they don’t have the larger size we want for our pickles and salsa (Fillmore does though) and 2) shipping 1000 jars from the west coast to the east coast is exorbitantly expensive! Fillmore is much closer to us, and we can’t wait to use them!

I would use this case of jars for the up coming maple sugaring season. These jars with the smooth sides would be perfect for showing off the clarity and grade of the maple syrup : )

I am an avid gardener. Apples, apricots, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, peppers, tomatoes, squash, green beans, garlic, horseradish, eggplants, carrots… and the list goes on. Not only does canning allow us to maximize the usage of our bounty, but it is also rewarding. Nothing beats opening a jar of homemade pasta sauce, brimming with the taste of summer than on a cold winter’s night.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:19 am

I’d use them for gifts, such as body care products, apple sauce, etc. Though one must be saved for my Mornin’ Cup a Joe jar.

I had started canning last summer, and can’t wait till the farmer’s market really picks up here in Maine, so I can start making jams. My family loved receiving jam as a gift, and asked for more. I would really like to try a marmalade this year, and those jars would be great for that!
February 19th, 2013 at 12:08 pm
I’ve never heard of Fillmore Jars. I love the smooth sides. Can’t wait to get some. I don’t know why so many people complain about FB, I learn so much.

I love to can and my favorite use for these jars would be tomato jam and jalapeno jelly. Would love to have some. thank you for the review and giveaway. I will be doing a lot of canning recipes on my blog this year and I also would be interested in sponsoring Fillmore containers as I go through hundreds of canning jars and lids and it could be beneficial to me and them. Email me at cjbrick@ymail.com with any useful info.

Smooth sided for luscious lemon marmelade. The Ball jars patterns interrupt the visual of the peel and the fruit Now I know there is another way

I have been using jars from Fillmore for years and I LOVE them. It doesn’t matter if you order one case or a hundred they give excellent customer service. I absolutely LOVE the one piece covers too. And I’ll give you a tip. If you drink Snapple and want to recycle the glass bottles and make your own tea in them you can buy the 38/400 CT Gold Plastisol lids and they fit. I simple put the teabag and one spoon of sugar in the jar, pour in the boiling hot water, let steep for two minutes, remove tea bag. Put on cover and invert. Seals every time. Once it’s cooled I keep them in the refrigerator for my next outing when I need to bring a drink. Simply awesome.

Sunrise jam (two jams or more in one jar, layered).
February 19th, 2013 at 1:02 pm
These smooth jars are just crying out to show off an equally smooth and luxurious content—I’m thinking they would gorgeously show off some lovely citrus curd. The velvety, ethereal look of a well made meyer lemon curd, or perhaps some blood orange…Mmmm!
February 19th, 2013 at 1:06 pm

February 19th, 2013 at 1:58 pm
Fillmore really does rock: I tested out the small (4 oz) straight-sided jars last summer and they are so much more stylish than the Ball quilted, with the same solid quality.
What would I do with straight-sided jars? Well, there might just be one more marmalade left in me this season. If not, they would wait for strawberry jam!

Oh to have one piece lids!!!!!!!!!!I have canned for over 43 years with our garden produce. I found Filmore jars on the web and just LOVE their designs. Would kill for a chance to try them. Love you both on Facebook too.
February 19th, 2013 at 2:01 pm
i would probably use these for jams/jellies or pickled peppers. we don’t usually eat much jam/jelly, so the smaller size is better for us than pint jars. i’m not really a fan of the quilted ball jars i currently have for this purpose.
i also use this size of jar to can leftover “ends” of things that didn’t quite fit into the larger jars.

Since I do a lot of canning – I sell at Craft Shows in the area – I am always looking for good and affordable jars. I have experience with both one- and two piece lids, and I use mostly 8 oz. jars. For my Salsa, I use 16 oz. jars. I would welcome the smooth sides of these jars since I have a problem with the labels adhering properly. According to Cottage Food Laws here in Michigan, I have so much to put on the labels that I have to use two labels to accomodate all text prescribed. Other than that, I am about ready for anotehr batch of Caramel Apple Jam which sold very well at the last Craft show!
February 19th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
I recently made marmalade for the first time, but it didn’t turn out the way I had hoped (it’s really thick and sticky), so I’m planning to make another batch soon, while the stores still have a nice variety of seasonal citrus available. These jars are beautiful–thanks for the chance to win some.

The smooth-sided jars are so cute! I like the quilted jars for some things (yogurt, especially) but the smooth-sided jars would be great for anything that would look too “busy” with the quilted ones. I’m thinking homemade granola, for sure.

This summer I worked on a farm as a CSA member and was “paid” with an abundance of delicious produce. So much so that I couldn’t keep up so I froze much of it…peaches, blueberries, tomatoes, raspberries, the list goes on. Now I just need the jars to convert all this yumminess into jams, sauces, canned veggies, etc. These are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for introducing us to this brand!

Last time I used single-piece lids (from some other company besides Fillmore) they didn’t work out so well and I’ve been unhappy with them ever since. Of course, that was before I read Marisa’s explanation of the topic. I’d definitely be happy to give it another shot if I had some 8-oz Fillmore jars laying around.
I’ve got an idea kicking around in my head for a jam with Pomegranate, Oranges (Cara Cara or Moro) and Cranberries. Getting some cool new jars would definitely motivate me to try it out.

I would love to make some citrus curd or marmalade. The smooth sides really make the contents shine.

I love the idea of smooth jars and blank lids! I do a lot of canning, but I guess I didn’t realize there were other jar options aside from Ball. I would love to try these. Thank you for the thoughtful review.

I can always use extra jars. I make a lot of preserves as gifts and never get the jars back.

I always shop at Fillmore. Their containers are the best priced and always present really well. I mostly use them for my candle business but have some with jam in them too.
