Is the above recipe the one you have cooked ? If so, then cool the jars and store all of them in the fridge or freezer as the recipe suggests.
12 minutes boiling isn’t enough time at high heat to kill off any bacteria, so fridge or freeze the lot Veg, but after it cools ok.

Ok, good then. Just let the glass jars cool then you can store them in a dark cupboard. Once you open a jar of it, keep it in the fridge.

I’m going to make some little pots of stewed rhubarb and apple for youngest girl to take to work with her lunch, in little plastic containers, then I’ll freeze the lot. She loves them.
