Make Confiture D'abricots Rouges Du Roussillon last the full window
Do

- Use a clean utensil every time you take a portion.
- Keep it sealed — the original lid or an airtight container.

Don't
- Leave it out on the counter while cooking or serving.
- Double-dip or return unused portions to the container.

Smell
A sour, yeasty, or alcoholic off-odor suggests fermentation and should be avoided.
Texture
If the confiture appears overly liquid or grainy, the texture has likely degraded, though this is not always a safety concern.
Freezing
