That kind of depends on how many antineutrons are actually in a liter jar, which I guess could be anywhere from a handful in a magnetic trap to a chunk with the density of nuclear matter.
Fun fact: the energy released by the annihilation of one liter of antimatter at that density (roughly a hundred billion tons) is weirdly close to the gravitational binding energy of Earth.
