well, in my experience, with as much sugar as is used, they don't go bad...
they do begin to "un-gel" and get soupy...and they can acquire mold very
easily.  I have used the "no-cook" refrigerator/freezer recipes for
peach and strawberry jams and I never got a chance to try to keep them
past two weeks.....they were eaten too fast.   8^}

| 2471.2 | Apple butter freezes well | BUFFER::SOWEN | major dried toads (todo sera mejor) | Sat Jun 23 1990 01:16 | 6 | 
|  | 	I made an unexpectedly huge batch of apple butter (the recipe
said 6 cups, and I ended up with something like four quarts!).  After
consuming the first jar, I decided to freeze the rest.  The texture
didn't suffer at all from freezing.

| 2471.3 | make jams in jars | MSBCS::PELOQUIN |  | Mon Jun 25 1990 10:40 | 5 | 
|  |     You could also make them and put them up in canning jars, with a hot
    water bath and then store in cool place (I use my basement) they have
    kept for up to a year without breaking down.
