redcurrant jelly - water bath?

Hi everyone. I'm after some advice please.

I made some redcurrant jelly 2 years ago and it was fab! I want to make more now so dug out the recipe I used, and it talks about processing in a water bath after filling the jars. I do think I did this last time - but I googled to remind myself and it seems to be only something you do if you have those ring top jars where air can escape while you do it.

I use old recycled jars with screw lids so did I do that with those before? Should I? Do I need to to?

Some of the advice says if you don't process it you have to eat it within a month - but we certainly didn't last time and it was fine.

Can anyone advise? Thanks.

I have never heard of that. I think it is a Kilner Jar thing.....with the threaded ring and a metal insert with a rubber seal. I wouldn't bother.

Yes - all the advice seems to be for kilner jars. Thanks - I won't then....Smile
