Today’s feature is from Simply Recipes with a Blender and Mason Jar Tip:

Did you know that many, if not most, blenders can be used with a standard mason jar, or wide-mouthed mason jar? This is a trick my mother taught me. Apparently 40 years ago or so, about the time this blender pictured was bought, manufacturers used to include a mason jar in the box with the blender. Mom recalls even a booklet that listed the many things one could make with the mason jar blender, including ground spices, whipped cream, and peanut butter. We use this trick most often to make whipped cream. The blender whips it right in the jar, so if we have extra, it’s already in a jar for storage. And it is easier when it comes to making small quantities.

Make sure to read through the comments too, lots of tips! If you don’t have a blender that will work with this technique, keep your eyes open at garage sales–never fails that there’s an old blender or two to be had for just a couple bucks.
