Unopened jars of raspberry jam should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, raspberry jam must be refrigerated to prevent spoilage and mold growth. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use. Refrigerated jam typically lasts for several months. Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming; discard if you notice mold, an off odor, or a change in texture.
