failed jelly jar
This year I have something new, a jar into which I dump all my failed jellies. I don't have runny failed jellies because I put them back in a pot and boil off some more liquid while adding more sugar. So all my failed jellies are overdone, ie fruit flavoured candy in various stages of hardness. When they get to that stage I've been warming the jar (these are small 1 cup test jars) in a pot of hot water to loosen the jelly and then scooping the contents into a large "failed jelly" jar. Eating sticky failed jelly from the failed jelly jar with a spoon is pretty tasty but I've discovered it has to be done in moderation to avoid unpleasant symptoms of excess sugar. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned

When I have jelly that is too stiff, I stir a tablespoon or 2 of hot water into the jar, close it up, and let it sit on the countertop overnight. Jellies that are too runny are not so easy to fix...
