Hot Sauce & Tobasco
When it comes to any kind of hot sauce and Tabasco, its important to remember that they both possess a rather long shelf life. To be precise, three years for hot sauce and five years for Tabasco. When it comes to hot sauce, just make sure that it has a vinegar base and does not contain vegetables or fruits – while it may change color, it does not mean its gone bad. When it comes to Tabasco, be sure to store it away from direct sunlight and keep it in a cool place. Even after you’ve opened the Tobasco, it does not need to be refrigerated.

Jam
Due to the fact that jam is made with loads of preservatives, boarding on overkill, you shouldn’t keep it in the fridge. Even if you have opened the jar, don’t put it in the fridge! While you might get some water inside the jar, this won’t ruin the taste or cause it to spoil. Additionally (and this is ~super~ important), when you are taking out jam, make sure you aren’t mixing it up with any other foods; when you criss-cross jam with other foods, it can cause the taste to go funny!
