Jooles, well done for trying to rescue it, pleased it's not going to waste 

Cooking thermomiter is a good idea. I have one that hooks over the side of the pan, it has lots of setting temperatures marked on it as well as the numerical scale, a bit like this one (you will find cheaper)

I would be interested to know the quantities you used, fruit/sugar/liquid.

Better luck next time

 It was 4lb of fruit, too much water (didnt measure it but approx 5.5 litres as its a 7 litre pan) 4lb of sugar and 3 bottles of pectin!
