[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you boil whatever it is for twenty minutes before eating it to kill possible bacteria. [/quote] No. Jam in jars is boiled as part of the canning process. Totally safe.[/quote] I realize that boiling is part of the process, I was raised in the South in a canning family. So, I also know that not everyone is perfect and that not all canning jobs are perfect, nor are all cans perfect. It is an understood part of opening a new jar of something canned that you boil it first. [/quote] I was raised in the north by a canning family. We literally never boiled any of our home-canned goods. But we never canned high-risk foods (e.g., green beans) and we always did everything by the book. There is no need to boil jam. Its high sugar content makes it very safe.[/quote]
