History of Jam Jars:

French jam jars, or "pots de confiture," have been a staple in the country's culinary tradition since sugar became accessible in the Middle Ages. Once a luxury for the upper class, the art of preserving jams spread to homes across France in the 18th and 19th centuries. These charming glass jars, designed for small homemade batches and sealed with wax, now symbolize France's rich gastronomic history and continue to be a beloved part of kitchen culture.
