Hydrangeas from my mother's garden in Orewa and bottled peaches from our Waiheke garden, not as nice as the Golden Queen peaches I have been bottling at home in Ponsonby. I decided this year to get rid of my various collections of preserving jars firstly as there seemed to be a market for them on Trademe and secondly those big jars of fruit are too big for two people. However have kept about a dozen of various sizes and colour - a couple of brown Agee Specials, the Agee Utility pint and quart size and even a couple of 2 quart ones. Decided to use them as storage jars for baking ingredients so their contents are more visible in my pantry. People bought my jars but not to preserve fruit in but to use them as table decorations and vases for their vintage weddings!
