If it's just to seal it for a day or two, would clarified butter do the job?

i really wanted to keep it longer so not sure if butter would do that, i will have a go at making some later today just for Christmas, thanks anyway for the reply.

yes Jamie she did say i would last upto a year with the wax seal. you can get the wax online but you also have to pay p&p, think thats what im going to have to do, then wait till after Christmas to make a bigger batch.

How about the JamJarShop?

Paraffin Wax
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
