Make Confiture Fraise Sans Sucre Ajoutes last the full window
Do
- Refrigerate promptly after each use, at 5°C / 40°F or below.
- Use a clean utensil every time you take a portion.
- Keep it sealed — the original lid or an airtight container.
- Freeze it before the window closes if you will not finish it — Transfer the entire jar contents into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.
Don't
- Leave it out on the counter while cooking or serving.
- Double-dip or return unused portions to the container.
- Store it in the fridge door if you open the fridge often — it is the warmest spot.
- Taste it to "test" safety. If in doubt, throw it out.

Where this guidance comes from
The Confiture Fraise Sans Sucre Ajoutes window blends official US food-safety guidance with typical manufacturer opened-storage instructions. The label on your specific product always wins if it is stricter.
Storage note
Due to the high sugar content and low acidity of fruit preserves, the US guidance is typically more conservative, recommending a longer shelf life than the UK.
Check before eating
Look
Mold growth (fuzzy patches) or visible separation of the fruit from the jelly base indicates spoilage.
Smell
A yeasty, alcoholic, or sour off-smell suggests fermentation and bacterial growth.
Texture
If the spread becomes overly liquid or develops a slimy, uncharacteristic consistency, discard it immediately.
Freezing
Yes. Transfer the entire jar contents into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.
