Hi Lindsey
EMERGENCY! I've just steralised my jars before bottling Delia's Dark Seville Orange Maemalade. I decided to steralise the lids too and, to my horror, they've all melted! How will the marmalade keep if the jars are covered with a wax disc and a cellophane cover tied on with a rubber band?
Yours in a state of high anxiety,
Jan
Hello Jan,
Don’t worry, you did the right thing to think quickly and use the cellophane covers instead.
Your marmalade will be fine.
Best wishes
Lindsey
Phew! Thank you Lindsey for getting back to me so quickly.
Kind regards, Jan
