STORING COOKED JAMS AND JELLY

    Store  jams  and jellies in  a  cool,  dry  place;  the

shorter
 the storage time,  the better the eating quality of

the
product.   After the jelly has been opened, it should be

refrigerated.
                                              

    Jams and jellies may be frozen successfully.   Freezing

has
no adverse effects on the color.  flavor,  or texture of

jellied
 products.   However,  if  jelly has  been  properly

processed,
there is no reason to freeze it.  It is a  shelf-

stable
 product.   We  do not recommend  tying  up  valuable

freezer
space with jams and jellies.
