How to Freeze Jelly
Freezing jelly is a great way of preserving it, as it doesn’t keep very long in the fridge. If you’ve put together a homemade jelly, it’s a good idea to set aside the batch you intend to freeze right away, so you don’t need to worry about separating it.
Here are the steps you need to take to freeze jelly:
1.Transfer to a Container
Transfer your jelly to a suitable, freezer-safe container. A Tupperware box is perfect. When placing your jelly in the container, make sure you leave sufficient space for any expansion to take place in the freezer. About half an inch should be enough space.2.Seal and Label
Affix the lid to the top of your container and label its contents. Write today’s date, as well as its use-by date. Remember, jelly can be frozen for around six months.3.Place Carefully Into the Freezer
You need to make sure to place your jelly on a flat surface in the freezer. If it sets on a slant, you will have a lopsided mess when you come to defrost it! This step is particularly important if your frozen jelly has layers.
