    Nope. When something is heat-sterilized and preserved in a sealed container via water bath or pressure, it’s considered “canned” regardless of what type of container it is. That’s why things like this…

    …are called “canning jars” and not just “jars,” and why using them to preserve food is, in fact, called “canning.”

      Mayhaps in english. Maybe he is not form an english speaking country. I myself am not and canning here is exclusively for metal cans and jarring has a separate word.

        I find it jarring to hear canning in glass containers called jarring.

        now that you say it, when I think of the word jarring I think of it as an adjective like surprising, shocking.
