  What jam is it? My dad is a farmer and mom makes all kinds of jam, never saw mold there the last 30 years.

    All sorts really. She’s a farmer also. She gives me a lot and I tend to forget them in the fridge. I can tell you plum jam has mold.

    She adds little sugar, maybe that’s a reason.

    Maybe your dad properly sterilizes his jars.

      I know she pasteurizes some foods and sterilizes others, don’t know which for jams
