There is a little mould down one side of the jam jar - what do normal people do? Eat the unaffected jam or chuck it all? Is it gross to even consider eating the jam?

I'd scrape off anything mouldy with a healthy margin, and eat the rest of the Jam. I understand Jam is one of the few foods you can do that with, safely.

I’d chuck it, DH would be in the eat it camp! Yuck!

My MIL would have chucked the mould and eaten the jam. If she was feeling cautious she’d have boiled it up again first. afaik she was never ill.

OTOH I wouldn’t dream of doing this. It’s probably safe but it’s a bit gross.

If the mould is in on the rim, I wipe it off and carry on, if there is any mould at all in the actual jam then I chuck it, it’s not worth taking the risk for a bit of jam.

Eat the non-mouldy bits
No problem
