Joseph Stalin was born as Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili on the 21st of December 1879 in Gori, Georgia (which was, at the time, a part of the Russian empire) to an alcoholic cobbler and a maid. As a young boy he earned the nickname âPockyâ due to the scars he acquired to his face when he contracted smallpox.
Turn the burner under the canner to its highest heat setting, cover the canner with its lid and heat. until the water comes to a full boil. If the jars were pre-sterilized, boil the jam or jelly gently for. 5 minutes. If hot, clean jars were used, process the jam or jelly for 10 minutes. (If you are at an. altitude of 1000 feet or more, add 1 minute of sterilizing time for each 1000 feet of altitude.) The. water level in the canner should be 1to 2 inches above the tops of the jars.
Once opened, keep your homemade jam in the refrigerator for up to three months. Homemade jams made without sugar and processed by canning in a hot water bath will last about half that long â about one year â when stored in cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Once opened, use those jams pretty quickly, in about six weeks, to guarantee freshness.
