RE: Hot Pepper Jelly Jellin'

I used Ball no-sugar needed pectin but I added 3 cups sugar and boiled about 2 min. instead of 1 min. It jelled almost right before my eyes! I might end up with gummy bears but I don't care. I have so many jars of liquid jelly that I can mix in when needed. lol

Thanks to all who helped me out of a desperate situation with pectin frustration!!

I've just started using the Ball no-sugar pectin this year...mostly because of taste. Glad to hear it worked for you.

LOL Gloria! It seems like all the stars need to be aligned and the gods appeased properly for my Certo-made pepper jelly to set up. But, on a positive note, pepper syrup is good over chicken and pork, in curries and stir fry, in baked beans, and also in salad dressing, and in coleslaw. Ask me how I know, lol!

Remember when Annie helped teach that canning class and the Certo didn't set up in the Habanero Gold jelly? Of all times for the Certo to fizzle.

It's notorious for that sort of thing.
