lisamarie508	Posted - Sep 18 2008 : 05:44:31 AM Well, last night I dumped out the first batch I had made without the pectin. I added 2 packets of chillover to 4 cups syrup while boiling. I didn't add any more sugar since I already had sugar in it. After I canned them up, I thought I might have made a huge mistake because the jam recipe called for 4 cups juice and 2 cups sugar and thought that maybe my 4 cups total might not be enough and I could end up with a super-solid. But that doesn't seem to be the case. When I tipped the jars this morning to check for set, it still moves but much much slower. I'm not sure if I have jam or just even thicker syrup. Maybe it will set up more in a day or so. Anyway, I'm done with the plum juice. I had no idea how much work 2 gallons of juice would be! I still have 4 buckets of apples to put up and peaches are coming in Friday. I don't think I'll try jelly again. It was a lot of work and re-work. I'll stick with what I know and that's preserves and butters. Farmgirl Sister #35 "If you can not do great things, do small things in a great way."

Alee	Posted - Sep 17 2008 : 4:11:24 PM PS- I cheat all the time! LOL I haven't tried making jams and jellies yet!! Alee Farmgirl Sister #8 www.awarmheart.com Please come visit Nora and me on our blog: www.farmgirlalee.blogspot.com Put your pin on the farmgirl map! www.farmgirlmap.blogspot.com
Alee	Posted - Sep 17 2008 : 4:10:48 PM Well since two farmgirls had problems with the plum jelly recipe from the canning books...perhaps it is faulty! So I don't think this is cheating if you were mislead (or even if you weren't!) Cheating would be buying it from the store after you tried to make it, right?

lisamarie508	Posted - Sep 17 2008 : 3:11:58 PM It kind of feels like cheating but I'm doing it! I have to salvage some of this stuff into something we'll use all the time.

Alee	Posted - Sep 17 2008 : 11:22:27 AM Sure! If it hasn't turned solid yet, it would be a perfect liquid to add chill over powder to!

lisamarie508	Posted - Sep 17 2008 : 11:04:48 AM Thank you so much, Alee. I knew you would find it. So, do you think I could re-process some of this syrup with chillover powder and turn it into jelly?
