One thing I want to try is instead of lids or papers and covers for the jars (I've actually been using cling film for the last few years) is to try candle wag poured on when the jam is still warm/hot it will cap off the contents., Could be hard (or expensive) to find modern candles which are food safe. I have a jug of hard paraffin wax which I use and reuse on the odd What a faff! I use a waxed paper disc (buy the right size for your jars) laid wax side down on top of the marmalade while piping hot. Followed by a screw top lid. Discs are available from Lakeland; old lids can be cleaned boiled and re-used, or you can buy new ones online. Janet We buy from a charity(Womens Institute) for our jam and marmalade most times, when my great aunt forgets how to do it, she is getting older now. They used to sell it with a bit of greaseproof paper and an elastic band around it. They are not allowed to sell it like that anymore. I don't think it hurt anybody. But the law.....insists.... There is nothing nicer, in the preserve world, than a spoon of home made jam or marmalade. Baz |
