Fill Jars With Jelly & Jam

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Rachel Deon for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show you how to fill up the jars. I prepared a towel already on the table and I'm going to take the hot jars from the oven. I wouldn't take all of them at once just going to take 1 or 2 out a time so they can stay hot. We're putting the jar close to the pot and with a ladle were going to fill it up. It's okay if it drips a little bit and can always clean up the jar afterwards. A very important thing is to fill up the jar until tippy top cause that's going to help it seal good whether you close it with a lid or like I mention before with a baking paper and a rubber band. As you can see I'm filling it up to the very tippy top. And now were going to close it and it's going to be air tight closed. It's very, very hot so be careful. If you want to eat it right away then you don't need a glass jar you can just put it in a plastic container and save it in the refrigerator and then this way the next day you can enjoy it. It is very important for the jelly to cool off slowly, that's why we have a towel on the bottom we're going to cover it up with another towel and just let it cool like that until it's totally cooled off. When it cooled off you can either store it in a cabinet doesn't have to be refrigerated its going to be air tight sealed the sugar is a preservative that will help it stay good fresh for a long time."
