Mom Tips

Shelf life of the candy in the jar without opening = 3 months.

Store in a cool, dark place.

Pots: You need to sterilize them. Clean the glass jars very well, wash them with hot soapy water, rinse and leave them to dry on the lowest rack in the oven for 15 minutes. Add the jam/jelly/jam while the container is still hot and very dry. Then cover with a waxed paper disc, waxed side down. Let cool, close with an airtight lid, cover with cellophane, securing with a nice ribbon. Once tightly closed, attach a label, write down the name of the recipe, the date of manufacture and the expiration date.
