I know that some people put over the jam (before you close lids) a disk of
oven paper wet with alcohol. This is to preserve the jam from mould.
I didn't understand what problem have you got with lids! I don't understand
the word "marred". But if moluld is your problem, put more sugar and cook
more your jam!
