Jam storage

[Danzord]

I wouldnt bother buying jars or lids, use old ones and cut a circle out of greaseproof paper slightly larger than the circumference of the jar, push that on top of the jam then put the old lid on or if you have no lid cut a large circle of waterproof material and secure over the top of the jar with an elastic band. Dont know about lasting 15 years but its still good after 5 years. Also make sure the jars are sterile first, i use a baby steriliser but you can heat them in the oven to sterilise them.
