Old school blender and mason jars?
https://www.phillipsfiberart.com/colorin-quilts-faq.htm
Day 2 says put mason jars on base of old school blender. I have no idea what that means and I am very old school. LOL Anyone know? It's the Laundry Sauce recipe. |
I can’t figure it out also but I bet you could use an immersion blender into the jar instead?
|
I think the base of the blender with the blades can screw onto a mason jar.
|
Perfect opportunity to go to the thrift store, should be blenders and jars to try them out. But yes, the thread and size could be the same... or not, so check out first.
|
The mason jar must screw onto this, I think that is what the recipe is calling for:

Having the jar upside down is what seems so confusing to me.

Seems backwards but you put the ingredients in the jar and then put the base of the blender on like a lid.
I had a set of little pint containers that also had lids, you could mix up the stuff like pancake mix in the blender and then put it on the shelf. |
I have a blender that is 34 years old. Got it when I had my first child to make baby food. The part that holds the blades to the blender container is the same size as a standard neck mason jar. The blender came with mini jars, that are not open at the top and standard mason lids fit on them.
So without going to the recipe, I woudl guess that this is what it refers to. You can attach a standard, not wide mouth, mason jar the the part that holds the blades to a blender contain on some older blender models. |

I just used my Oster blender from the late '60s. Works perfectly. There used to be mason jars that fit. I also have a set of very small jars with a yellow Oster label painted on them, original.

I bought an inexpensive Oster blender (DuraLast Classic) not too long ago. As Tothill so well described, the blender ring fits on the top of a regular mason jar as well.
On another note, the Laundry sauce recipe is similar to one I have made, but as a powder. I shred the bar soap with a grater, then mix in the Borax and washing soda and use a tablespoon in my wash. I'm going to give your method a try..grating the soap can be hard on the arm/shoulder. The powder method does not work well in cold water as the soap needs warm water to dissolve. That problem is solved with the use of boiling water. Let us know how you like this soap. |
Some of the older blender you can turn the mason jar upsidedown and screw it into the base. I'll check mine out upstairs as I've had mine since 1968 and it still works like a charm. Get back with you later with the results.

How do you keep the stuff inside the jar if you turn it upside down? I guess I need to watch a video. |

You remove the whole blade assembly off the blender like you would lift off the pitcher to pour. |
Like Chasing Hawk says, remove the jar along with the blade assembly still attached. Then invert with the blade assembly on top and the jar upright. Unscrew the blade assembly and the contents remain in the upright jar. Easy peasy.

So many uses for canning jars
