If you do not use the canning process and just refrigerate it, it is usually suggested to eat within 10 days. Freezing it is another option for longer preservation.

Typically that means it needs to cook down a bit more.

I want to entice garden/tree frogs into my garden here. Is that possible? I started a shade garden with ferns and hostas and clover. What is the best way to sustain a watering area where I am not digging for a pond or building one. Suggestions on easy water sources for frogs and what more can I do? I have some rocks in the area as well. How moist does the environment need to be to encourage these visitors.

Therma-flo works exactly the same way as Clearjel. Our local Amish store carries Therma-flo.
