Default Horseradish Jelly Problems

I lost the original posting, went to dejagoo and found Barb's first
posting in '98.... just did this and next time I'll double it... got
barely 3 half-pints pints out of it. I also thought to shred the
horseradish instead of grate it. I'll grate next time, the shreds are a
nice color contrast but they're a bit too chewy. Now *I* like chewy,
but...

I was a bit nervous about the acidity so I added a 1/4 tsp. of sour
salt/citric acid.

I think I'm also going to add some red pepper flakes, since I can't
reduce the sugar. It's got a nice horseradish-y flavor, not hot, but
the immediate foretaste is sugar sugar sugar.

Those are the only changes I made (shred, not grated, 1/4 tsp. of citric
acid). I'm wondering if there's too much pectin specified? I used both
pouches. After taking it off the heat, much of the pectin had
solidified in the foam in a kind of crinkly mass and the stuff nearly
jelled as I was putting it into the jars.

This pectin is at least 1 year old and possibly more. Probably, even.
But I've used aged liquid pectin before and had no problem.
