                Those are Weck jars.  You can buy them from Heath ceramics online or directly from Weck by the dozen.  I already did some of my Christmas canning in them and they are just beautiful

                How much salt do I use?  And are the orange slices supposed to just be whole  natural shaped wedges with unbroken membranes, or do I then slice the wedges into thinner slices?
                
                  I wasn't sure of the directions on cutting 'lengthwise' on a spherical object, and then saying to cut them into thin slices.  I want to make this for a hostess gift tonight; a quick reply would be most helpful.  Thanks so much!

                Carmencita, you can definitely use the compote as the filling for a vanilla cake -- it would be delicious with a fluffy whipped-cream frosting!
                
                KatherineJane, look for little jars like these at kitchenware shops, or online at amazon.com or cookware.com (search for "jam jars").  Hope that helps!

                Can I use this as a feeling for a cake?
