Ray Winstone Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Opening this up for debate as I have always kept it in a cupboard but flatmates this year insist it goes in the fridge. Having spoken to a Jam 'expert' he says cupboard as when you put things in the fridge they start to use their flavour! But my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. What does everyone on KB do?

The Doctor Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cupboard, a jar never lasts more than a week, so it's not going off. Incidentally the best jam in the world is made on Cyrenians Farm, near Wilkieston. Their raspberry jam is amaaaazin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cupboard - jam is a preserve - the original purpose was to preserve the fruit, before fridges were even invented! All this nonsense about putting everything iin the fridge is ridiculous. When I was a kid, if you opened a jar of jam and there was mould on the top, you just scraped it off and carried on as normal - same with cheese, cut off the mouldy bit and eat it anyway. And do you know what - it never did us any harm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese was made as far back as the times of the Vikings - when they would preserve their milk supplies by churning it and producing cheese which they kept for months!

blondejamtart Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm not a huge jam fan, to be honest - it's got to be home made (same with marmalade), but home-made lemon curd is lovely! Once had lime curd, which was also very good indeed - in fact, my mouth's watering at the prospect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cupboard... but fridge when its been opened.... Now as for Mayo thats in the fridge all the time! http://scotsport.podbean.com Thats because Mayo has egg and dairy products in it - which would turn quickly if not in the fridge. Jam keeps - even once you have opened it - honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wants to make their food cold by putting sauce on it! Madness! Anyway to those who put it in the fridge - 'jam expert' says you shouldnt because it loses flavour! He says it should be in a cupboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanjambo Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Blaccurant Jam is the shizzle. Blackcurrant jam is the beez 'n eez! My favourite jam by a mile! We just have a new import shop opened nearby, and guess what? it has chivers blackcurrant jam! Yeeha! We keep jam in the cupboard over here, from October-May. It goes in the fridge the rest of the year. It would go off in an hour if we kept it in a cupboard, as it so hot in the summer over here!
