jam jar

Fruit spread vessel

A jam jar is a glass container, typically with a screw-top lid, used for storing jam or other preserves.

In British rhyming slang, jam jar means car.

The jar's wide mouth and sturdy construction make it useful for home canning and preserving, and empty jam jars are commonly repurposed for storing small items or homemade preserves.
