Removing Labels From Glass Jars (For Jams and Preserves)

If you make jams and preserves, reusing supermarket glass jars is a simple way to cut waste. The only frustration? Labels that refuse to peel off, especially paper adhesive stickers and tight packaging wrappers. Below is one of five easy methods to help you restore jars for refilling with homemade sweet jams or vegetable preserves.

Method 1: White Vinegar

  1. Fill a shallow container with white vinegar.
  2. Place the jar(s) inside so the entire label is fully submerged.
  3. Let the jars soak for at least 15 minutes.
  4. For extra-stubborn labels, warm the vinegar first (microwave or stovetop).
  5. Gently peel away the label. If it doesn’t lift cleanly, soak a bit longer.

This approach works well for most glass containers and can also help with metal cans.
