I use the top of a plastic bottle when filling jars; it has a wider mouth than any funnel I've been able to buy, and helps keep the top of the jar clean:
I finished up with five full jars and a little bit for tasting:

Looks yummy! Will check out the recipe and wait for summer 😍
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask you a Q. Is it okay to refrigerate strawberry preserve (with whole berries)? It was a new jar but kept getting a layer of fungi. For now I have skimmed off the top layer and refrigerated it, but am not sure.
Yes, absolutely, I always refrigerate such things once they're open.
DeleteOh, will follow this tip henceforth. So far I've never had to refrigerate jams or preserves. Thanks 🥰
DeleteIn theory you shouldn't have to, but a lot of commercial jams and preserves say refrigerate after opening.
