Default surface mold on jelly

hi
I m house sitting for a fellow batchelor whose gone away for a couple
of weeks to Portugal/ the lucky sod.
he asked me to empty fridge of all out of date foods, which is now
done. However in the larder I ve found a jar of blackberry and apple
jelly that has a white surface mold on top. dont really know how old it
is , tho guessing 6 month. can i just remove mold and use for our
consumption. I d be less hesitant with a dense jam , but this is a
wobbly jelly. thanks in anticipation of yr help

Default surface mold on jelly


thanks to you both, i honestly didnt know the risk. having been brought
up by parents, who experienced lean times in the 20s and 30s,, i find
it hard to throw anything out.

i remember being suprised when a botanical researcher told me that when
a fruit , an apple for example, has just a small part rotten, then that
rotteness/whatever that is, has already permeated the whole apple and
could be detected as such in a lab.

question then, can i read that rotteness is toxicness, and therefore
also potentially carcengenicl, like the molds we ve been talking
about???
