Storage rules

To keep your jam during the winter, not becoming sugared and cloudy during this time, follow a few rules.

As mentioned above, citric acid or lemon juice, as a natural preservative, protects the jam from trouble, prevents it from over-thickening and retains its initial amber color.

In addition, grape jam should be stored in a cool, dark place. A basement or refrigerator works well for this.

Citrus fruits will serve as a preservative for grape jam

It is very important that the jars in which you put the jam are clean and dry. It is best to pre-sterilize them together with the lids with which you will roll up the containers. If you intend to store under nylon caps, rinse them thoroughly and dry them.

The humidity in the place where the jam will stand should be low. If this is a basement, take care of its cleanliness: no mold, mildew, and other troubles. This applies to the storage of any food, not just grape jam.
