I've been told to stir a knob of butter into the jam or jelly to remove
scum, prior (as I recall) to pouring it into jars. What's you take on this
Barb ? I was somewhat concerned about the butter being a dairy product when
BWB canning (and as it goes so far I haven't needed to bother about scum
anyway).
