I make 6 pints of Grape Jelly according to the directions on the
"Sure-Jell" pamphlet.

-4 cups Grape Juice ( from real grapes, but had to add 1 cup of
unsweetened grape juice, since I didnt get enough juice from 4 lbs of
grapes )
-7 cups Sugar
-1 packet of Sure-Jell

I processed the Jars in a canner. Still after 12 hours the contents of
the jars is syruppy. Shouldn't it have set by now? It seemed thin when
I was pouring it into the jars. Can I re-open the jars and re-cook and
add more pectin or are all 6 jars a wash?

Seven cups? Doesn't the recipe use 4-1/2 cups sugar to 4 cups liquid?

Even assuming the proportions are correct, give it two weeks--12 hours
isn't nearly long enough to start to worry. Twenty-four is a more of a
minimum. If after 2 weeks it hasn't set, try this:

Hi, Barb. Around. Don't have much time to post in Usenet these days (or
to read the insane number of new posts in r.f.c.)

New email address, too (no more Heimdall confusion!)
