Comment on Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThis is true, but I wouldn’t do it when the jam is very liquid. And if your jam starts to mold fast, it means it doesn’t contain extra chemicals to keep it good as well as much less sugar. So it’s better if it molds faster. Just keep it in the fridge and eat it fast. Many store bought factory jams can stay good for over a year after being opened. Imagine what it takes to keep it from molding.

No chemicals are necessary, home made jam can last for ages too. More sugar is better, for the jam, as a preservative. Not for oneself but like just eat less jam

So you’re saying you like jam without any chemicals?
Is your favourite flavour vacuum, neutron star, or black hole?

Solar wind is a decent flavour, though much better if it’s ions sourced from 1000km below the sun’s surface. They say they are the same ions as just one km below the surface, but I can tell the difference between 1km and 1kkm (or 1Mm if you will) jam as soon as those ions start striping the electrons from my tongue (at which point I spit it out because it has become chemicals).

I make figs jam without sugar. It’s much healthier but won’t last that long. Tastes amazing!
