Default OT Jam Jar source

from Dave Hill contains these words:

You can also top off the jam with candle wax when the jam and the wax
cool you have a perfect seal


I top the jam (while hot) with a circle of waxed paper to seal. You
can buy them ready cut for pennies.

Not only are they expensive to buy, but I suspect that in a couple of
years they will sell a slightly different size so that the lids don't
fit. After a couple of years the lids start to rust, so new lids would
be ideal. Kilner jars are also annoying for the same reason, try getting
rubber seals for jars a few years old
