How to Use the Kilner Wide Mouth Preserve Jar 350ml

Step 1: Preparing the Jar

  • Wash the jar thoroughly with warm, soapy water to ensure it is clean.
  • Rinse the jar with hot water to remove any soap residue.
  • Dry the jar completely with a clean towel or allow it to air dry.

Step 2: Sterilizing the Jar

  • Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  • Place the clean jar on a baking tray.
  • Put the tray in the oven and leave the jar to sterilize for about 20 minutes.
  • Use oven mitts to carefully remove the jar from the oven and allow it to cool.

Step 3: Filling the Jar

  • Prepare the preserve or contents you wish to store in the jar, ensuring it is hot when filling.
  • Use a funnel to carefully pour the contents into the jar, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.
  • Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean, damp cloth to remove any spills.

Step 4: Sealing the Jar

  • Place the lid on the jar and screw on the band until it is fingertip tight.
  • Ensure that the lid is centered and secure for an airtight seal.

Step 5: Storing the Jar

  • Label the jar with the contents and date of preservation.
  • Store the jar in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cupboard.
  • Check the seal periodically to ensure it remains intact.

Additional Tips

  • Always use new lids when preserving to ensure a proper seal.
  • Do not overfill the jar; leave enough headspace for expansion.
  • If the jar does not seal properly, refrigerate and consume the contents promptly.
