My dad's wife recently gave me 4 small jellies/jams she had put up--strawberry jam, apple jelly, peach jelly, blueberry jam. Trouble is she did not water bath can them, she just poured the boiling food into hot jars, put the kids on, and left them on the counter to ping. This was about 2 weeks ago as far as I know. She followed the rest of the instructions on the liquid pectin package. Are they safe to eat? Is it too late for me to water bath them? Also, I don't have a rack to hold the cans apart. I have a glass top stove and just have a large flat-bottom stock pot with a low removale steamer base inside. I could also use a smaller stock pot for just those 4 half-pint jars, or if I can wait to do it, I could do some of my own and can them with the pint/half-pint jars I plan to do.
