Concentrated Marmalade ?

18 years ago

I made the blueberry marmalade from Small Batch Preserving this weekend. I failed to read the recipe correctly since I switched mid-stream (after zesting the orgages/lemons and boiling in water) from cranberry marmalade to the blueberry one since I was short 1/3 c cranberries...so during the switch I failed to realize that the blueberry marmalade required the pith of the oranges. After trying to get a gel to form with no luck, I reread the recipe and realized my mistake, so I tossed in some pith to increase the pectin. It worked great, gelled up and tasted good, but since I had been boiling the mixture the marmalade had concentrated substantially. I still canned it as planned and am assuming it will be fine to store, but wanted to check with the experts here...

Think it will be safe?

Thanks!
