Anyone have ideas? Many thanks! Thu Nov 06 10:03:25 -0800 2008 75862 newfoodie 1 4153581 I've seen mason jars at Bowery Kitchen in Chelsea Market. You may want to call first to be sure they have the size(s) you need. Thu Nov 06 10:10:32 -0800 2008 4153556 104084 LNG212 1 4153593 They have them at several hardware stores near me, including S. Feldman, though they tend to be expensive. My favorite jars are Weck's - you might check their website or call to see if you can find them in the city. http://www.weckcanning.com/docs/product_line.htm Thu Nov 06 10:14:27 -0800 2008 4153556 10985 MMRuth 1 4153604 Zabar's usually has a good supply in varying sizes and Gracious Home often carries them as well, but only in season. As LNG212 suggests, let your fingers do the walking. Thu Nov 06 10:20:43 -0800 2008 4153556 11407 JoanN 1 4153608 Broadway Panhandler as well. They sell them individually as well as in flats of 12.
