jar

A jar is a container made of glass or plastic with a tight-fitting lid. It's usually used for storing food, drinks, or other small things.

You use jars all the time when you cook or bake something. You might put your homemade jam in a jar to keep it fresh for a while. Many people store their favorite snacks like nuts or candies in jars on the kitchen counter. Some jars have special lids that are vacuum-sealed, which helps keep food from getting spoiled quickly. If you're trying to declutter your closet, you might think about using an old jar as a container for small items like buttons or safety pins.
