Sealing Jam with Wax
Dear Aunt Daisy, I like to cover my jams with wax for sealing, but find that when the wax sets it shrinks from the sides of the jars. Can you help me? Also I hope to preserve passion fruit and have been told just to "cover with wax," but I antici-
pate the same difficulty.

Wax certainiy nas a tendency to shrink away from the glass, therefore it is usual to pour over a second layer of wax when the first has just barely set. This second time, pour the wax mainly round the edges, so that it will fill up the gap. For the passion-fruit, which is preserved uncooked, be particularly careful that the seal is perfect.
