Hello. I'm making strawberry freezer jam with sugar and regular Suregel. I wondered what the shelf life of this is once it's thawed and opened?
Also I'm making:
-a cooked strawberry rhubarb freezer jam with honey (no sugar), no pectin or Suregel.
-and a cooked strawberry rhubarb freezer jam with honey (no sugar) and the no/low sugar needed Suregel.
Could you tell me how long each of these three different jams will last once thawed and opened? Thank you.

Expert Response
Hello,
The recommended storage time all of these jams after they are opened is three to four weeks. Because it is a short shelf life in the refrigerator, I use small containers to freeze the jam in.
