I don't use jam very often but like to keep it in my fridge for recipes that call for it. my problem is that they go moldy so quickly once they have been opened. I am careful to always use a clean knife/spoon and not to put it back into the jar once it has touched any food, but it still goes moldy. the mold sits on the top layer and parts of the glass jar above it. does this happen to you? is it unhealthy to cut that layer off, clean the jar and use the rest? and is there a way to prevent it getting moldy in the first place?
all advice appreciated.

Well, I sure hope it's ok to just cut off the moldy part (and some) b/c that is what I always do!

Interesting, I used to store jam in the cupboard for years and nothing ever happened, then at one point it started getting moldy all the time. I threw away the moldy bit and used the remainder. I then changed to storing it in the fridge and it's never gone moldy since. Perhaps try to store it at the back where it's colder?

In general:
mold on soft foods = toss the whole thing out
mold on hard foods = cut off the mold.
By the time you see mold, the mold spores have already infiltrated the entire thing (less so in hard foods). So why eat it?
