When I am not sure if a lid is truly clean, sometimes they are stained, I use cling film. A disc of paper soaked in cognac also helps and you can lick the bowl when you are finished.
I use jars with metal lids. I never use anything that has had savoury or spices or nuts in. This is because the smell often remains in the rubber seal, and moreover, I sell some of mine, so cannot afford to have even the tiniest remains of nuts in, or anything else that might be harmful.
If there is any chance of contamination, then it goes in the "only to be eaten by self" store.
I'm thinking spicy smell contamination might be a plus. Nothing that I didn't want to take a deeper sniff of when i opened my favourite cupboard. Tins and crockery are so boring.
I used the clingfilm @coccinella. Brandy makes me cry..😫
Try a Port & Brandy @B3 … I can remember a New Years Eve when two of those had me standing on a pub table singing “I’m just a girl who can’t say No!” 🤣🤭

I thought that the chat about Gin making you weepy was nonsense until I had a couple of Gin Slings. By lunch time the next day I was terribly terribly upset! It happened twice otherwise I'd never have made the connection. I have an old friend who is the doziest laid backest fellow and Whiskey makes him fight!!! 🤣 The little disc soaked in alcohol is to stop the growth of microbes on the surface of your preserve. You don't have to lick it if you don't want to @B3. Nobody wants you to cry.
