Jelly Jars

Just a word of advice: If you spill a little jelly on the outside of the jelly jar, make sure to clean it off before you put it back in the fridge.

You might think the worst thing that could happen if you did not follow this advice is that your hand might get a bit sticky the next time you pick up the jelly jar.

However, I had a "friend" who didn't quite get her jelly jar clean once and the next time she pulled it out of the door of her fridge, it actually stuck to the neighboring jar of jelly, pulled it up too (unbeknownst to said "friend"), and in transit from fridge to counter (still unknown to the "friend") the second, tag-along jelly jar dropped to the floor (now finally realized by the "friend"). Of course, the jar broke from the fall, and my "friend's" many small children were banned from her kitchen until she cleaned up the mess delaying the making of the PB/J sandwiches for which the many small children were waiting.

In conclusion, my "friend" recommends always, definitely clean up any dribbles of jelly on the outside of the jar!
