How to Make Remake Directions For Jam Or Jelly

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rescued jam or jelly with 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice. The acidity will help to set the mixture.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the pectin, stirring continuously to ensure it dissolves completely. If using powdered pectin, make sure to whisk it in to avoid lumps.
  4. Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the setting point (220°F on a candy thermometer or wrinkles on a cold plate test).
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot jam or jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place the lids and rings on securely, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Once completely cool, check that the seals have formed.
