With so many fantastic winter fruits rich for picking at the moment, home cooks will no doubt be wondering what to do with them. One of the best ways of making sure the produce can be enjoyed for months to come is by creating a preserve and storing it in a jam jar.

There are many products to help people achieve this from Head Cook and Bottlewasher. For example, it stocks a range of jam jars priced at 99p each, with either a gold, blue or gold lid to help home cooks remember what it is they have stashed away. For those who have lost the lid to their jam jar, a pack of 12 replacements can be purchased for £2.25.

Various other pieces of kit will be needed, including the Kilo Deluxe Bottling or Preserving Kit, which comes complete with a lid wrench, jar lifter, wide-mouth funnel and a range of other items. This is priced at £10.99 from Head Cook and Bottlewasher.
