STORING COOKED JAMS AND JELLY

     Store  jams  and jellies in  a  cool,  dry  place;  the
shorter  the storage time,  the better the eating quality of
the product.   After the jelly has been opened, it should be
refrigerated.                                               

     Jams and jellies may be frozen successfully.   Freezing
has no adverse effects on the color.  flavor,  or texture of
jellied  products.   However,  if  jelly has  been  properly
processed, there is no reason to freeze it.  It is a  shelf-
stable  product.   We  do not recommend  tying  up  valuable
freezer space with jams and jellies.
