Go get some straight-sided canning jars. Look for jars with no shoulders, like the half-pint size normal mouth jars or the pint size wide mouth jars.

Jars with shoulders are not freezer safe; the necks prevent the contents from expanding as they freeze so the jar cracks. Straight sided jars are tapered on the inside so the contents can expand up into the head space of the jar safely.

Canning jars are quite thick, they’re intended to be handled and used for years on end. They aren’t indestructible but they’ll survive handling that would crack a grocery store pickle jar. They’re specifically designed to be repeatedly boiled and even pressure cooked.

The lid specs for these jars is a LONG running standard, canning lids are probably carried by your favorite grocery store at least some of the year, and you can get reusable non-canning lids to fit these jars in a variety of materials and styles.
