Hmm....No help, but here is a "me too" post. :-)

Just like you, for the past two years, my first batch of prickly pear jelly
would not set.

Switching from Ball brand pectin to SureJell brand pectin, with no other
changes, for the subsequent batches made jelly that set almost too hard.

The Ball barand pectin used to work with my prickly pear jelly and it
works great with the other jellies. I guess I have some experimenting to
do.

As for my prickly pear syrup. It tastes great on my sourdough pancakes.
