Jam not setting
« on: July 10, 2016, 17:19 »
My  peach jam did not set well. I used 3 bags of sure-jell for 12 cup recipe.  Can I reprocess the peach mixture adding a thickening agent. With clean jars and new seals?

Welcome to the site  :)

I'll move your question over to the Cooking board; feel free to pop back into the Welcome board to say hi properly.  :)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I had a similar issue when I tried nectarine jam a few years ago. What I used it for in the end was as a loose topping for natural yogurt.

If you re-boil it, the jam will probably become dull in appearance and get a slight "butterscotch/caramel" taste which will detract from the peach.

List the recipe so folks can have a look.

In the meantime, here is the recipe that is in the Marguerite Patten book (she prefers nectarines over peaches for this)...

1 1/4 lbs peaches (skins slipped off in hot water then cooled)
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1lb white sugar

Makes 1 2/3 jars
