Bring the jelly to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Remove it from the heat and quickly add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine. Return the pot to the stove and bring the mixture back to a boil and boil it for 1 minute. Test to see if the jelly is setting. Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims clean and add the lids finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes or according to your altitude.
Without Adding Pectin Pour the soft jam or jelly into a medium-sized pot and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for each quart of jelly you measured. Wipe the rims, add lids finger tight, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes or according to your altitude.

The fruit itself is also a highly variable factor as the amount of naturally occurring acid and pectin will vary with every batch depending on growth conditions, sun, rain, variety, ripeness, etc. It is one of the elements we have the least amount of control over. By now you may or may not know why your jam or jelly is runny. But the fact is you still have a batch of the liquidy stuff to deal with. Here are some things to consider. Embrace the sweet fruity liquid as syrup. Pour it over pancakes or mix it with soda or maybe a little gin, vodka or rum.
Put in shaker with ice, strain into martini glass and enjoy! The National Center for Home Food Preservation provides three processes depending on the type of pectin you used. When you take it out, it will be a thick, spreadable consistency.
The kitchen is fun. Here a couple of tips to help you get it right the first time. Aim for about C or degrees Fahrenheit. Higher or lower temperatures can affect the setting.
A wider pot will distribute the temperature evenly and improve evaporation. Choose clockwise or anticlockwise and stick with it- try not to interchange. This helps ensure even cooking. Simply call it what it is — a syrup- and use it for something else. For starters, this may make an excellent glazing recipe for your baking projects. You might even use the jam to flavor your cakes or muffins.
Another great idea is to use it as a yummy fruit syrup for your pancakes or ice cream. Or as a sauce for your desserts. If this happens to you, try recooking or any other of these methods to fix the jam. If none of it works, enjoy your syrup! Sign up for our weekly Fresh From the Farm Newsletter.

This post was most recently updated on March 10th, Nothing beats a thick slab of homemade jelly on a well-done peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Do you need more delicious goodness fresh from the farm? Work with no more than 4 to 6 cups at a time. Check all the jars from the batch - if one failed to set, most or all probably failed. Add up the volumes of all the jars to be reworked, to figure out the size of the batch in quarts for step 2. Since you will probably want to reuse the jars, get the now emptied jars washing in the dishwasher. So, if you made a batch of jam and have 10 eight-ounce jars that didn't set, that would be an average batch 10 cups or 2.
For that average batch of about 2. Add the jam or jelly to the pectin mixture and bring it to a rolling boil, over high heat, stirring constantly. Keep in mind that one reason jams and jellies don't set is because people try to double batches, and there is non-uniform heating.
That results in some pectin becoming over-cooked and some pectin in the batch is under cooked. Never make a new batch of jam or jelly starting with more than 6 cups of crushed fresh or frozen fruit; and never try to remake a batch larger than 2. Once it is a rolling boil, then boil it hard for 45 to 60 seconds 1 minute.
A "hard boil" is distinctly different from a "rolling boil". A rolling boil is simply the production of bubbles but is not all-encompassing and may even be stirred down.
A hard boil often produces foam and the jam expands, rises to fill more of the pot, and cannot be stirred away.
