As autumn approaches, many home chefs will be looking to use the produce in their garden to create delicious jams, chutneys and preserves, and a good set of jam jars are just the thing to keep the produce fresh and tasty.

A range of jam jars in various shapes and sizes are available, from a simple glass screw-top preserving jar to the more ornate hexagonal jars, whose home-made appearance makes them perfect for jams and chutneys meant to be given as gifts.

Home Discovery offers a range of deluxe glass preserving jars, which can be bought in packs of 12 to hold all kinds of kitchen essentials, from pickles to pasta and dried fruit. The metal screw band top and separate sealing discs with rubber seal ensure that whatever's kept inside is protected from the air.

Meanwhile, Le Parfait also makes all sizes of preserving clip top jars along with replacement lids and sealing rings.
