    Help Bottling Up - Red Onion Marmalade

    Hi guys,

    I've just made some red onion marmalade. However, I had to put the kids to bed and in the meantime the mixture has cooled down. I have put it in the steralised jars but obviously the lids have not vaccumed down. Will this be a problem? There are also small air bubbles in the mix, should I squeeze them out some how?

    Any help gratefully received.

    It is recommended that you either bottle and put lids on whilst still hot or you bottle it and leave it to go completely cold before covering .....how hot was it?

      I would say it was cold by the time I got to bottle it up.

        should be ok ...it's if it is just warmish that you shouldn't cover it ...

          How about the bubbles? Do you think that will be a problem? I'm really so new to this.

              When I do my jars I put them in a bath of hot water, use a roasting tin on top of the hob and bring to the boil that normally creates a vaccum for me

                  You cold also empty the contents back into a large pan, re-heat up to a simmer then re-jar. I personally would place all the jars in a large pan with water in and boil for around 5 mins...this should create a good vacuum while re-sterilising your jars.
