I was going to make a cake and fill it with raspberry preserves for the filling. The cake needs to be one that is not refrigerated and I thought that it would be alright to use the preserves as the filling. However, I just noticed that all of the preserves in the jars that I have says to refrigerate after opening. Does anyone know if there are any preserves out on the market that doesn't require refrigeration after opening? Thanks so much.

I have used preserves as fillings before, and had no problem with it. Actually, if you think about it, the cake, and frosting act as an insulator.

It'll be ok for a day or so but after that you will want to refrigerate leftovers.

You can buy bakery sleeves of filling that don't require refrigeration.

I've used preserves as a filling before and left the cake out for about 1 day. It should be fine. Mackays makes a really good strawberries and champagne filling.

I add it to my buttercream and use that as a filling and have had no problem.

Actually, I was told that the sleeve fillings require refrigeration after opening, too.

But I think they are talking about for storage after opening in both cases, I would think that a day or two in a cake would be okay.

A couple of days in your cake will be fine.

That is to prevent molding mostly and your cake would be nastly long before the preserves would.
