[Sca-cooks] 'Tis the Season (for produce, not sillies)

[Dan Brewer]

I don't know because the jam never lasted season to season.  But I would not
do paraffin as it never really seals.  It always has a small ring of mold on
it.  The sealing lids cost a little and give me peace of mind .

Sliced lemon is a great idea.  I have made fig jam, but stopped because it
reminded me
too much of Fig Newtons.  Not my favorite of cookies.  But lemon would add a
zing and
cut the sweetness.  Thank you!

By the way, I never can my jams.  I put them in sterilized jars and seal
them shut with
a thick layer of melted parafin.

What's your shelf life for the wax-sealed ones?  I remeber my grandmother
did the same with her plum jellies.
