Berry Jam

Unopened jam can be stored at room temperature. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 6 months for best quality. Freezing can extend shelf life considerably.

Spread jam thinly on toast or scones for a classic breakfast treat.

Use jam as a filling for cakes, cookies, or hand pies.

Stir a spoonful into yogurt or oatmeal for added sweetness and flavor.

In savory dishes, a touch of jam can balance rich flavors, like with pork or cheese.

Using jam that is too old can lead to mold or spoilage.

Not sealing jars properly after opening can reduce shelf life and encourage crystallization.
