Standard practice among UK home cooks and perfectly legal.

"Can I sell home-made jam in re-used jam jars?
It is safe to re-use glass jam jars occasionally to supply food as long
as they are properly washed. This means it is safe to sell home-made jam
or chutney in re-used jam jars at village fetes and other occasional
events. If jam jars are re-used they should be free from chips and
cracks, and should be sterilised prior to each use. Well-fitting lids
will also minimise any hygiene risks to the food in the jars."
