Kilner Preserve Jar 0.5 Litre with Screw Top Lid for Jams, Chutneys and Pickles

Kilner Preserve Jar

The original Kilner jar has been used for home preserving since John Kilner created it in England over 180 years ago. This 0.5 litre size suits jams, chutneys and pickles.

A Proper Vacuum Seal

Recycled shop jars rarely seal reliably for preserving. Kilner's two-piece lid, a tin disc with a screw band, creates a secure vacuum seal so homemade jams and chutneys stay fresher for longer.

Why It Works

• 500 ml Size: ideal for jams, chutneys and pickles.
• 2-Piece Lid: the disc and screw band create a vacuum seal.
• Glass Jar: no BPA and holds no odours.
• Reusable Band: use the screw band again and again.

Size and Specs

How to Use It

Use a new disc each time you preserve. Before first use, wash glass jars in warm soapy water or the dishwasher and let them dry completely, because even a little moisture left inside can make flour, sugar or coffee clump. Wipe bamboo or wooden lids with a damp cloth rather than soaking them, and dry them straight away so the wood stays smooth and does not crack or warp. Decanting dry goods into clear airtight jars keeps them fresher than half-open packets, protects against pantry moths and damp, and lets you see at a glance when you are running low.

Label each jar with its contents and the best-before date from the original pack, and use older stock first by topping up from the bottom rather than pouring new food on top. Always check the silicone sealing ring sits flat in the lid groove before closing, as a twisted seal will let air in. If a seal ever loosens or loses its grip, a quick soak in hot water usually helps it regain its shape and fit. Store jars away from direct sunlight and the hob, since light and heat dull the flavour of tea, coffee, herbs and spices.

Glass does not absorb odours or stains, so the same jar can move from coffee beans to pasta to biscuits with just a wash in between. Matching sets of glass jars also turn a crowded cupboard into a tidy, easy-to-scan pantry, and look smart on open shelves or a worktop coffee station, giving the whole kitchen a calmer, more organised feel.
