Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm giving homemade spice mixes for Christmas this year and I'm having a hard time finding the jars I want. I own the kind of jar I'd like to package them in but I need a few dozen new ones for the gifts.

The jars I have are Ball Mason canning jars that have markings on the side up to 1/2 cup which is just below the line that says "fill to here for freezing". But the jar will actually hold a full cup of dry ingredients.

What size jar is this? Is this a half pint jar or a 4 oz. jar?

Sorry I'm such a dunce. I've never canned, I just like the looks of the jars! I think I need to order them online because I can't handle the stores this time of year, so I can't just look at the jar in the store and see that it's what I need.

Susan

I just happened to have a case of these on my fridge--marked for 1/2 cup and just below the lid it says "fill here for freezing"--the case says half pint jars. I found mine in the Christmas aisle at the local Giant.
