We picked a gallon of blueberries at my CSA and I made blueberry jam with some of them. I didn't "can" the jam ...it's fresh. I'd like to ship some to family out of state and I'm sure Fed Ex will oblige. But I'm wondering if this jam will arrive safe to eat if it's shipped without ice (overnight)?
Should I buy some of those "ice bags" that you freeze and put around the jam, or do you think it will arrive safe enough to eat within 24 hours? And where the heck do you buy those "ice bags?"
Ask for some dry ice. It's what they ship frozen foods with, and there's usually plenty left over. It's frozen carbon dioxide, so as it "melts" it just turns into gas. No fuss, no muss. Pack it up in a tough styrofoam container and you're set.
