Limited edition Purple Ball® Heritage Collection Pint Jars - Perfect for Canning and Gifts in a Jar!

“The featured product was provided free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family.”


We love making and giving delicious gifts to our family and friend all year round. We also love making jam in the summer months and apple butter in the fall as gifts and for our personal use (Rose loves my Strawberry Freezer Jam).

Ball has released Limited Edition purple style canning jars that are just beautiful!! These are the last in the 3 year series of Heritage Collection jars. The year 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the development of a series of jars, designed by the Ball brothers, each intended to be better than the one before. 1913 saw the launch of the first true “Perfect Mason” jar followed in 1914 by the “PERFECTION,” then finally by “IMPROVED” in 1915.


These limited edition Purple Heritage Collection Regular Mouth Pint Jars are a celebration of that heritage, featuring period-inspired purple color and embossed logos on front and back. These jars maintain all modern Ball jar standards for quality and reliability. Perfect for all of your creations... or as a collectible item!

We have an easy recipe to share with you to fill them with - our Holiday Swirl Cookies (Gifts in a Jar recipe). Note: My photo is not from the gorgeous purple jars - I want to keep an element of surprise for my family peeking my blog....but my photo is using clear Ball canning jars we made last year :)....We love Ball glass and plastic jars in case you were wondering.
