How long are the Jams and Jelly safe to eat after they have been canned
I think jams and jellies are safe to eat for as long as the seal holds. You'll find, however, that if kept much over a year and a half, they can become grainy as the sugar crystallizes. Most books recommend a year, but I don't throw out anything that still tastes good and is safely sealed.
