How long does this stay good in the fridge? Trying to figure out how long before I gift it that I can make it.
If properly canned, the jam should stay fresh for about 2 months
Pulling this recipe out again for the holidays -my favorite. Sooo delicious and makes a great extra little gift.
Since refrigeration or freezing is recommended, do you gift these to people cold, or are the jars ok at room temperature for a week or two?
