Urgent! Storing quince jelly without canning jars?

mainecook61 added over 1 year ago

If not hot canned with proper jar seals, jelly should be refrigerated or it will get mold eventually. The other thing is that if you have some serviceable non-canning glass jars (they would need to be able to handle boiling jelly poured into them), you could seal them with plain old melted paraffin, like grandma did and I have done. It does work if you make sure to get the hot paraffin onto all the edges for a tight seal. Paraffin is sold in hardware stores.

you can freeze it. i've not yet learned to can, so when i make jam, i store it in small containers in the freezer.
