Home cooks hoping to get involved in preserving need to make sure they have a good quality jam jar to hand. This will make sure the produce stays fresh for as long as possible, meaning it can be used in recipes for weeks and even months to come.

There are a number of jam jar products available from Head Cook and Bottlewasher. One example is the Glass Screw Top Jam Jar 1lb, which is on offer for just 99p from the online cookshop. It is available either with a red, blue or gold lid, which may help home cooks locate important ingredients with greater ease in their home kitchen.

Anyone hoping to do a lot of preserving may want to consider the jam jar offered as part of the Home Discovery Deluxe Glass Preserving Jar 1000 ml-12 pack. This is priced at £20.99 from Head Cook and Bottlewasher, providing a variety of different sized jars, each with a metal screw top lid and replaceable rubber seal.
