Like most people who first saw the new Oui by Yoplait yogurt, the first thing I thought was "I need that glass jar... I don't know what for yet, but I need it!" I didn't even know how the yogurt even tasted. I thought that I could use the jar to store my custom spice mixes, small amounts of crafting material I can't let go, or meta-ly my own homemade yogurt.
Sidebar: Oui is creamy, so good texture, but I've gotten so used to plain yogurt, it was too sweet for me.
Of course, they're not as useful without lids, or at least in many of the ways I was envisioning as I bought my 3-for-$4-I-make-my-own-yogurt-this-is-slightly-ridiculous-to-be-buying jars. After much Googling, I found a lot of reviews of the yogurt itself and how the jars are cute, but not a lot of direct info on liddage. Wading through some comments; however led to some better results. The jars are very similar to the small German Weck canning jars, including the ever important opening measurement. They are not a perfect match, so some of the lids, especially the ones that use the sealing ring with traditional clamps might not fit. So I wanted a tight fit that either sealed by "going into" the jar, or a silicone cap that fit over top of the jar which could be stretched
Some Amazon searching later led me to Blossom canning jar caps for small jars. (NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK!) I figured I'd give them a try and see, most importantly, if they'd leak. So far, I've got to report, these caps are champs. They fit tight, and I've even put liquid in the jar and it hasn't leaked. I'm pretty satisfied with the lids so far. Now, to go forth and eat more yogurt!
