Hi,
I make all kinds of chutney, very often, and I only ever use ordinary jam jars. I put 2/3 layers of cling film over the jar top before screwing the lid on. This protects the metal lids from corrosion from the vinegar in the chutney.
So far, no problems, and no poisoned family and friends...and easily years down the line !! Give it a try.:blushing: :blushing:Feb. G.C. From Jan 26th £350.00
First month..pure guess!! Wk. 1 £136.38 balance £213.62. Wk.2 £108.10p balance £105.520 -

hi Le Foot,
thanks - thats interesting. i feel this thread is about to become less about saving money than making chutney - but how are you sterilising your jars? I guess you put them in the oven? how long for?0 -

Hi danster,
Like Le Foot, I use ordinary jars for making chutney too. I know that some people just wash them and then pop them into the dishwasher to sterilise them but as I don't have a dishwasher I just wash them then put them into the oven for 20 minutes at 120 degrees and have had no problems.
This thread on the Old Style board may help:

In fact I'll move your thread over there to see if you can get more replies.

Kilner jars is the term I've heard. I buy mine from Lakeland - branded Le Parfait.
They're not cheap - is there a reason why you want these in particular?

Far be it for me to disagree with our new board guide
but the Le Parfait style jars are not Kilner jars. I remember seeing Kilner jars on the edition of Who Do You Think You Are when it had Jeremy Clarkson on (he turned out to be related to Mr Kilner) Kilner jars have a metal ring that you screw round the neck of the jar rather than metal lever you press down.
Here's a picture.
I'm not sure why you need special jars for chutney. My most recent batch is in old Helmann's mayonnaise jars. I just fill with chutney and bung a wax disc on top (the wrong way round usually:rolleyes: ). The quantity of vinegar, and sugar in the chutney keep it for years;)0 -

You're right that the original Kilner jars are the screw type. However, the term is now widely used to refer to the clip jars that the OP is looking for.
If you do a google image search there are pics of both types.
Kilners came from just down the road from us
