Other than filling with plaster and taking a cast of your bits, what use do you suggest for large glass jars? (lemmy.fwgx.uk)

Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

I save them up all year, and come Christmas / Lunar New Year, I bake cookies then hand out jars filled with cookies to coworkers and neighbors.

It turns out that my wife and I consume exactly enough jam in a year to balance out the jar egress for the maximum number of social connections we can sustain.

If I have a spare, I might make mango chutney. It doesn't need to be vacuum sealed if you just make one jar and eat it reasonably soon.

I suppose you could engineer them to be solar garden lights too. There ought to be enough room for the panel on top of the lid, a battery and circuit on the underside, and then you hang an LED in there.
