Reading your replies I've come to the conclusion that my fridge must be MUCH too small. I don't have the room for all the jars. When I open a jar of beetroot, mint or apple sauce then they go in the fridge....pre-opening they're in the cupboard. I have 7 big grapefruit in every week....if I put those in my salad drawer, wouldn't have room for my salad stuffs! Only meat tins I put in the fridge is corned  beef, but that's so it's much easier to cut. Of course I have the obligatory chocolate basket for when the kiddies comesmiley: happy......plus a 3 litre drinks dispenser, made up with apple and blackcurrant! I'm afraid I don't really read labels....I've been buying jam and marmalade for  50 years...never even occured to me to put it in the fridge! Haven't had one go mouldy yet! smiley: eek
