Jam Jars — Le Parfait

The Confiturier collection is Le Parfait's jam jar range and one of the best-sellers on AZ boutique. Designed for homemade jam jarring, it is recognisable by its 324 or 385 ml straight glass jars and 82 mm screw lid, often coloured or patterned, sealed hot for airtightness.

The Confiturier collection's specificity

Confiturier is Le Parfait's range specifically adapted to jams: clear straight glass jar, 82 mm metal screw lid (sometimes coloured or patterned to gift or distinguish recipes), designed for hot vacuum sealing after filling.

• Glass made in France by Le Parfait (Reims, since the 1930s)
• 82 mm metal screw lid, some coloured (orange, mixed patterns)
• Standard capacities: 324 ml and 385 ml
• Replacement lids sold separately (set of 6)

The most popular pieces in the Confiturier collection

A few formats account for most of the purchases on AZ boutique, around the 324 ml standard.

• Jam jar 324 ml + 82 mm screw lid: AZ boutique's best-selling piece, standard format ideal for strawberry, apricot, orange, fig jams
• Jam jar 324 ml + orange 82 mm lid: same format with a coloured orange lid
• Jam jar 385 ml + 82 mm screw lid: slightly larger format for bigger portions
• Set of 6 82 mm lids: lid refills to reuse existing jars (random pattern)
• Set of 6 jam jars 324 ml + lids: complete pack to start a jarring session

Choosing within the Confiturier collection

Why is the Confiturier collection well-known?

It is the French reference for the homemade jam jar: clear glass that showcases the fruit's colour, 82 mm screw lid that ensures hot vacuum sealing, format suited to jam-pan cooking. The orange lid and patterned designs have become a visual signature of homemade jams.

What is the difference with Familia Wiss and Super?

Confiturier is the jam-specialised version: clear straight jar + 82 mm screw lid only. Familia Wiss is broader (conical terrines for pâtés + straight 82 or 100 mm jars for various preserves). Super uses a glass-lid + rubber-gasket + spring system for long sterilisation. For jams, Confiturier is the most convenient because hot vacuum sealing simply happens by turning the jar upside down right after filling.

Which size should I choose?

324 ml is the standard format, perfect for most jams (1 jar = about a week's family portion). 385 ml suits if you gift a lot or want fewer jars to label across a large batch. To reuse Le Parfait jars bought full of store jam, simply take the set of 6 replacement 82 mm lids.

How do I succeed at jam jarring?

Wash and sterilise jars and lids before filling. Pour the boiling jam (at least 85 °C) up to 5 mm from the rim, immediately screw on the lid, turn the jar upside down for 5 to 10 minutes. The cooling creates a vacuum that seals the lid. Screw lids are designed for sterilisation and can be reused, but Le Parfait recommends regularly buying new ones for optimal sealing on jams meant for long-term keeping.
