Help my jam will not set

Thread Starter: MalcolmW    Started: Fri 03 Sep 2004    Replies: 1

I have made plum jam and it is too runny, I think I went past the setting point. Is there any thing I can do to help as I do not need seven jars of plum sauce!

I had this problem with strawberry jam but in my case it was not cooking the jam long enough. I don't think its possible to go past the setting point so my advice would be to reboil the jam and then test it. You can do this by putting some hot jam on a cold saucer, leaving it a minute or so and if it 'wrinkles' when you push it its done. Good luck, and if it doesn't work then I'll have one of those spare plum sauces! Cheeky
