Hi all,
I have been canning jams for a year with good success. Recently, I got a pressure canner. I made blueberry jam with it, and unfortunately, the gel never set. Here is what I did, where did I go wrong? The recipe? The process? Can I fix it? I made the jam with the following recipe: 10 pints blueberries 4 cups sugar 5 lemons (juice only) 1 cup water 3 packages of "No-Sugar-Needed" Pectin 3 tablespoons of butter (to control foaming) I boiled it for about 20 minutes, put it in the jars, and then put it in the processor. I processed at 15 lbs of boiling pressure for 30 minutes. 24 hours later, soup. Can I fix this? Is it as simple as putting it all back in a pot, and adding more pectin? Thanks, Brian |
