You can scale the recipe up or down to fill smaller or larger jars. Ball are another great brand and Ikea also sell inexpensive jars. The wide mouth openings are super easy to fill and pour the ingredients out of. I mostly use classic Kilner Jars with a screw top lid. This recipe is written to fill a 0.5L (1 pint) sized jar.
