While what we buy a Bonne Maman product for is truly great (I particularly love their Apricot Preserves), for some reason their jars are just as great.
We are not alone.
Since my studio floor is being refinished (along with the floors in my office and master bathroom) my studio is off limits, so I have been reading. I am reading Martin Walker's A Murder in Springtime, one of his Bruno, Chief of Police novels. I love these and have read all of them.
In the books, Bruno cooks. Walker has even collaborated with his daughter to collect Bruno's recipes into a cookbook, but I digress.
Imagine my surprise yesterday when reading chapter four...
"...Bruno prepared his vinaigrette, measuring his ingredients by eye and instinct into a Bonne Maman jam jar saved and washed for this very purpose. ..."
How many of us do the same? I know I do.

All the preserves are great! I think its the lids that lure us in 🤣
I have a stash of Nonne Maman jars, also of Boetje mustard jars which I use for spice/herb mixes I make as they fit the drawer better. Of course that's in addition to the stash of canning jars from my canning days. Finding the Bonne Maman jars filled with sewing items, usually buttons, in thrift & antique stores is always fun.
One other jar I've been saving is the square glass jars some herbs or spices come in. I'm trying to get replace the jumble of various size herb & spice jars too.
I have some l saved. My Dad gave me 4 in a tiny metal basket. I don't do jam. He ate the jam. I saved the jars. Used them in the quilt room. Each one holds small notions. Love them. Very handy. I never see them l don't think of him.
And Keillor marmalade jars.....
