'Jarring' is jarring

[anna_wing]

I seem to recall that in my distant youth the process of preserving fruit or vegetables in sealed glass containers was called 'bottling'. There was also Richard III, the bottled spider (I remember wondering as a child why anyone would want to put a spider in a bottle, it seemed a rather cruel thing to do). When did it become 'jarring', a word with a useful existing meaning of its own that didn't need another one?

Probably preserving.
