I wanna find fruit in a jar!

RustyFlange

normally readily available around christmas time, but I wonder if anyone knows where I can buy fruit in a jar (occasionally used as a decorative item) but i want edible ones!

Similar to this ....



Needed fairly urgently for the father in laws fathers day hamper I am making.
Can anyone help?
Thankyou in advance

I'm sure I've seen this sort of thing in Tesco's near the individual jelly pots.
Also M&S do something like breakfast fruit mixes in jars, but obviously these are more pricey.
Good luck!

Thankyou, I asked in my local tescos last week and also asda and neither had any, they said the closest were the glace kind of fruits

I will find a M&S and have a look in there.
Thankyou very much.

Perhaps if you look at their online shopping websites you might be able to identify shops that stock this sort of thing. Next time I'm in Tesco's I'll try to remember to look at see what the make is.

If you are near a home bargains, they very often have this sort of thing for a pound or two Couldn't you make some yourself?

I also looked online for it but couldnt see it.

Nicifer, i thought about that ... infact I also made a post in the old style section of the forum as I was unsure about what juice it sits in? I could quite easily make it I would have thought, and probably would be the same kind of price and yet taste nicer with fresh fruit? I know they put fruit in cans with syrup and juice and things like that but it is making sure it will all be ok.

I will also look in home bargains. Thankyou

My Tesco always has fruit in a jar... its usually on the shelves above the ice-cream freezer, where the packets of jelly are.. they do pears , peaches and one other .... I think the 'jars' are plastic though... couldn't you just make your own by decanting jars of fruit ... but I guess it wouldn't last long...

Just checked out Waitrose online and tapped in peaches in the search bit. Came up with peaches in a jar with cinammon £3.49. Hope this helps.

Just checked and they also do pears too.

Oh and cherries. Made by Opies.

Actually just type in Opies in the Waitrose food search, they do lots of pickled things.

you could try bottling your own with kilner jars. Theres a thread about kilner jars and where to get them.
can post the instructions later if you want to give it a go.
