I have an old jam jar (Pams jam) can I use that to preserve a few lemons! Thanks

don't see why not

Yes, but the lid may rust after time with the brine solution.

OK thanks, how would I steralise this!

A plastic lid is best because the acid and salt is extremely corrosive to metal lids, even lined ones.

I wash mine in the dishwasher and then put them in the oven to dry on about 100 degrees, or as it's cooling down from cooking dinner
