Fruit jelly should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, it's best to refrigerate it to prevent spoilage and maintain its texture and flavor. Make sure the container is tightly sealed when storing in the refrigerator. Properly stored, unopened fruit jelly can last for several months, while opened jelly should be consumed within a week or two for optimal quality.
