I am not a lover of apricot jam but buy it to glaze cakes etc. It only gets used rarely so by the time I next want to use it its gone off.
Can I freeze it in smaller amounts?

I don't see why not, warm it gently and pour into ice cube trays, if you find it crystalises and separates just pop a cube of it into a ramekin and reheat it briefly in the microwave, stir and it should be useable again.

I was thinking, 'why would you need to freeze jam', until I realised it wasn't your own home-made. I buy in my Mum's fave brand of marmalade when she visits and that goes mouldy too, I reckon it's the way it is made using gelling agents to save on fruit and sugar costs a bit.

Exactly the same point occurred to me.  When I was young I reckon the penicillin on my mums jam protected me against all manner of things!

Could you not just keep it in the fridge? I've got open jam in there that's 18 months old and still fine - not even fuzz to scrape off

I opened it yesterday Hester and then put it back in the cupboard. I will move it tot he fridge today and see how we go with it.
