try water in a pyrex dish, lemon juice and chuck the lemon in there too, boil the kettle and just let them sit for a few hours. lemons are brilliant for getting the smells out. I used it when I saved some pasta sauce jars as I wanted to make some jam's and I couldn't get the smell out so used a lemon. x

It's near on impossible which is why they recommend you don't put HM jam in them but make chutney and put that in them instead...Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!
