Anybody a canning guru?

[slippednfell]

I am new to canning and I am finding that sometimes, my jelly sets up good until I do the hot water bath... then it is thin and runny... Since everyone give me great chicken, duck and guinea advice, that someone will have the answer I am in need of.

Thank you and stay healthy!!!

After it cools down it's still runny? If so I would find another recipe.
Easy fix though, just call it syrup
Sorry I'm no help

Yes, after it cools it is still runny. The thing is, that the remaining in the pan and on my ladle gelled nicely... I even put one in the fridge to see if it would thicken up but it hasn't.

Love the syrup suggestion!!! That would be great but this is a sweet red pepper jelly... It has tiny flakes of red pepper in it that are supposed to be suspended as it thickens... kinda just ruined it for me. I might dump it back in a pot, heat it, add a tiny bit more pectin and then hot water bath it again and see if it helps.

Thanks for your repy!

Thank you! I didn't think there would be a thread so I didn't search. My bad!
