Lara in Colo Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would without a second thought. My grandmother would leave hers out all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sure. No second thoughts here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thank you! It's funny, I'm not a germaphobe at all, but the possibility of bad food is terrifying to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep, we've done this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep. It's heavily preserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You bet! There's a ton of sugar in it. It won't spoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep. My mom never refrigerated hers. We've left ours out (accidentally) more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would. But I also just ate through the contents of my fridge after it went on the fritz and everything sat for 2-3 days at 60 degrees, so...I'm not really the person to ask. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender's green Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm usually a "when in doubt, toss it out" person, but I wouldn't bat an eye over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninok Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The only time I won't eat jam or jelly is if it has that fermented smell to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm usually a "when in doubt, toss it out" person, but I wouldn't bat an eye over this. Me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 No problem. Jams and jellies don't spoil very fast. It says to refrigerate to extend its shelf-life, not because it will spoil overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I make homemade jam, and my kids have left it out plenty. considering the amount of sugar, things aren't going to grow. it might dry out, but you shouldn't have any fungus experiments.
