  • Wipe the rim of the jar clean and screw the lid on tightly.
  • Label the jar with the date the jelly was made and store it in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to use, simply open the jar and serve with clean utensils and enjoy your delicious homemade jelly.
  • Note: Always use a clean utensil every time you go to get a serving of jelly to help avoid contamination.
