Jar foods

[Jenny]

What's your favorite? I loooove raw cashew butter.  I can eat an entire jar in one sitting.  Sooo good!

Snickers in a jar. Last time I seen it was about 15 years ago but it made an impression on me. From products currently available it would be a Bounty in a jar I guess.

Looks quite the same as a Mounds bar in the USA. I love Mounds!

As for jar foods, I always have peanut butter on hand (smooth). Sometimes jelly or marmalade, too. 

Couple months ago, I found a hazelnut cheesecake spread by Jif. It was wonderful! And I'm not one to lose it over Nutella, either positively or negatively.

Far as I remember, it's identical to Mounds. I haven't had either in decades though.

Lyutenitsa (and pickled stuff. We do lots of pickles in Bulgaria. Pickled chilli peppers!)

[Alan V]

Amish chow-chow (picked vegetables) looks like your second picture, and is one of my favorite "jar foods".

They do appear to be similar. Like a lot of foods in the Balkans, ours appears to be of Middle Eastern origin


"In Bulgarian cuisine, the most popular types are tsarska turshiya ("king's pickle") and selska turshiya ("country pickle"). Toursi is a traditional appetizer (meze) to go with arak, rakı, ouzo, tsipouro, and rakia.

Tsarska turshiya is made with cauliflower, red peppers, carrots, and celery. The vegetables are mixed with some salt and sugar and left overnight. The next day the juice is mixed with vinegar and boiled for several minutes. The vegetables are put in glass jars and pressed down with cherry twigs and a round river stone, then the jars are filled with the cooled pickle marinade.

Selska turshiya is made with green peppers, green tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, and celery. The vegetables are put in a container, pressed down with some twigs and a stone, and a marinade made of salt, vinegar and water is poured on. The pickles are left to ferment."



Can't wait to go back to the food of home!

After you drink all that, I don't think it matters what you eat...

I suppose my favorite jar food (the above just reminded me of that) is Grandpa's grape desert. Fill a jar with grapes and top off with white rum. Keep in dark place for several months. At it's best poured over some vanilla ice cream....

The grapes can be substituted with any berry or fruit that has a skin and will fit in a jar without cutting into the skin, such as cherries or gooseberries or blueberries etc etc.

(I have made this and could not resist to sneaking grapes....all along the curing process.)

This sounds really good!

Herdez salsa and the occasional can of black beans for Mexican food.

Tomato sauce for my marinara.

Water chestsnuts and bean sprouts for my stir-fry.

And Maruchan Instant Lunch ramen every so often.

Outside of those, I avoid prepackaged foods.

Oh, and pickled onions. Discovered them several years ago and I really like them.

When I was living in Patagonia, my landlady made great jams (all sorts of berries, it was berry country there, I even went to a farm/garden. And god, I can't wait to lay my mitts on some raspberries so. Very. Soon). She also made pickled eggplant which was awesome (she even made some specially for me when we went through the whole big jar pretty quickly). Oh, she fed me well, she did.

Actually, being a traditionally not very rich country, we have a tradition of preparing a lot of different things for the winter (we even have a special word for it), most of it in jars. It can range from vegetables and fruit to meat (my grandmother used to make something with the intestines and probably the rest of the offal the pigs they kept) and it was freaking delicious. Especially fried with some green tomatoes she also pickled. Or with leeks.

Skippy Crunchy Peanut Butter
Dole jarred fruits
Vita Herring in Wine Sauce

I also like pickled lamb's tongue, but it has been unavailable at local stores for at least 20 years.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Y'all are gonna make me break out pictures of surstromming!

[Vera]

Oh yes, pickled onions and pickled eggs!

Tried pickled partridge eggs here in Brazil. Was not impressed. Pretty much like boiled eggs.

Altogether too big.

No thankee.

Spotted or otherwise - keep dicks away from me

Vita Herring in Wine Sauce

Ooh, there's some herring that I love back home. One more item on the list of foods I want for my return (ok, it'll take me about a month to go through all of them, but still...)



(ok, that's technically a plastic container...)
