You’ll do this best with this preserving jar with a lid from Weck®. It’s the classic preserving jar, just as it’s always been used, here in the 500-ml version. If you’d like to preserve your summer berry harvest for the winter in a slightly different way, this preserving jar can even be used as a baking dish and is oven-safe. So why not fill the shelves in your pantry—in addition to jam, jelly, pickled fruit, vegetables, compote, and fruit syrup—with homemade currant, blackberry, or zucchini-lemon cupcakes? And if you’re one of those people who likes to rely on homemade preserves during stressful days—let’s say vegetable stew, lentil soup, pasta sauces, chili, and so on—then a preserving jar of this size will serve you better than well. Tip: For the office, simply layer all the “dry” ingredients for an Asian noodle soup—including rice noodles and spices—x in the jar; during your break, quickly pour boiling water over them, let them steep… And there you have it: the perfect lunch snack.

These preserving jars from Weck® are so famous that the term “Einwecken” has long since become a household phrase. It’s great that, after a long hiatus, they’re now available from us again. We source these storage jars from the company’s original location, which was known as J. Weck GmbH & Co. KG until 2023 and now operates under the new name Weck Glass and Packaging GmbH. So the preserving jars we offer come from Bonn, where they’re also professionally packaged in sets for shipping (a fact that we’re particularly pleased about). The only items you’ll need to order separately are the preserving rings and clips.
