People generally say to keep jams 6 months to a year (unless they have preservatives like some of the store bought jams). I’ve kept a few jars of this for 4-5 months and they’ve been perfect.

Hi Julie! Yep! You don’t want it to be too vigorous, but you’re standing there stirring away so it should be kind of like a slow, rollicking party. It’s a good arm workout. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

Wow–I've never had a comment mid-recipe before. Hopefully it's not too late, but you want to add the lemon juice with the sugar…they all kind of hang out together before you cook it on the stove. Good luck–let me know how it turns out!

This looks delicious–thank you for posting it. I am making the recipe right now, but am wondering when does the lemon juice get added in?

Ah yes, the olive oil cake. I'll dig up the recipe and try to get it up soon-ish. I did a stupid thing and packed all of my cookbooks in anticipation of moving soon….turns out the move wasn't as soon as I thought and now I'm without some of my favorites!
