Kilner Wide Mouth Preserve Jar
The Kilner® Wide Mouth Preserve Jar Collection is designed for passionate preservers, home cooks, and sustainability-minded households. These jars are ideal for storing and preserving homemade jams, pickles, sauces, fruits, and vegetables. Their wider mouth design makes them particularly suitable for preserving larger items, such as whole fruits, thanks to the ease of filling and decanting.
Each jar features Kilner’s innovative two-piece lid system—a tin sealing disc and a reusable screw band—ensuring an airtight vacuum seal that keeps contents fresher for longer. With embossed millilitre volume indicators and the signature Kilner® logo, these jars are both highly functional and beautifully traditional.
Crafted from high-quality sodalime glass, Kilner jars offer exceptional durability and clarity. The glass is non-toxic, BPA-free, non-reactive, and does not absorb odors, flavours, or stains—making it a safe, eco-conscious alternative to plastic.
