Is it sealed?
I made some jam last night. This morning when I checked the jars, the lid
on one poinged down when I pressed it. But then it stayed down, and every time before when a jar didn't seal appropriately the lid would poing down when pressed but poing back up. So does this jar go in the fridge or on the pantry shelf? Anny

Anny When I get one that does that I pick it up lightly by my fingertips and hold it about a quarter inch off the towel it was sitting on. If it's going to hold the seal you won't pull the lid off. I still give it an extra mark and put it in the front of the stack or put it in the fridge, just in case. Waste not, want not. George

Anny It's usually a good idea to wait 24 hours before testing for seal. It certainly won't hurt the jam to be in the fridge, sealed or unsealed. Ellen
