Hello Bee Friends,

Every season I end up breaking one or two quart sized wide mouth mason jars, which are the ones that I use for my sugar roll test. I've been trying to find a plastic alternative. I haven't been able to locate a quart sized wide mouth plastic jar that works with the wide mouth bands on a standard wide mouth mason jar. I want to just be able to use my homemade screened lids on a plastic jar but I can't find a compatible one. Has anybody else found one, and could you share where you got it? I know Mann Lake makes a plastic thingy specific for sugar rolling and alcohol wash, but I would prefer to just DIY it and use the wide mouth sieve lids that I have already.
