==Kilner jar==
A '''Kilner jar''' is a screw-topped jar with a rubber seal in its lid (which creates an airtight seal to prevent the ingress of air-borne bacteria) used for the storage of food, and which was invented by the Kilner family and produced by John Kilner & Co, Yorkshire, England. Classically, it was a glass plug with a rubber seal attached to it in the top, with the whole being secured with a metal screw-top lid.

Contemporary "Kilner-style" jars usually have a lid made entirely of metal. Kilner jars are used for storing and [[preserving]] homemade jams, marmalades and other relishes. They are also used for pickling food such as [[Pickled eggs|eggs]], [[Pickled onions|onions]] and [[Pickled garlic|garlic]].

Kilner jars should always be [[sterilised]] before using to store food for long periods of time.
