sage Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi Made 2 jars of blueberry jam equal fruit to sugar. Boiled it checked setting point and bottles. But it didn’t set in the jars it’s thickened but not set. Can I tip it back in the pan add some liquid pectin and boil again re sterilizing the jars?

chickencam Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It depends on how thick you like your jam, I don't tend to worry so long as it has thickened, our strawberry jam is always quite runny, but it still keeps well. If you you do want to thicken it more then you can reboil it but you will have to be careful not to overdo it, my mother made some of my thin strawberry jam into strawberry concrete by reboiling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I must admit when my jam turns out a bit runny I tend to just advise everyone to cup their bread to stop it running off the sides But yes, you can tip it out and reboil it if you wish but as chickencam says, be careful you don't end up with a rubberised brick!
