Edit: to add, the jar was properly sealed when I opened it.

    That’s what you get with berries concentrate (a supply-chain thing) and sugar.

    But not so with self-made jam. Mold hates acidic environments. The jam rather dries out than getting moldy.

      Not true. My mom’s jams get moldy all the time. Maybe not all jams are acidic enough.

        What jam is it? My mom is a farmer and 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.

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