The legendary American preserving jars Ball Jars Mason jars have been used by generations of Americans to preserve jam, fruit, and other delicacies. These jars are still manufactured in the old factories in America today. But they're not just a delight for us as preserving jars – in our Munich store, we have antique jars with knobs and all sorts of other knick-knacks.

Unfortunately, the American manufacturer of a delicious organic sauce only wanted to supply us if we bought a whole truckload. Cranberry sauce is delicious, but that's too much even for me, an absolute cranberry fan. So at the moment I have no choice but to make the sauce myself.
