How to Remake Soft Jelly - Give them some time to gel.

It can take up to a month or longer for some preserves to gel. If you want to remake, you can, but I would give it some time.

REMAKING SOFT JELLIES

Measure jelly to be recooked. Work with no more than 4 to 6 cups at a time.

To remake with powdered pectin:
For each quart of jelly, mix l/4 cup sugar, l/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice, and 4 teaspoons powdered pectin. Bring to a boil while stirring. Add jelly and bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil hard l/2 minute. Remove from heat, quickly skim foam off jelly, and fill hot, sterile jars (see directions below for sterilizing jars), leaving l/4-inch headspace. Adjust new lids and process.

To remake with liquid pectin:
For each quart of jelly, measure 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons liquid pectin. Bring jelly only to boil over high heat, while stirring. Remove from heat and quickly add the sugar, lemon juice, and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for l minute. Quickly skim off foam and fill hot sterile jars, leaving l/4-inch headspace. Adjust new lids and process.

To remake without added pectin:
For each quart of jelly, add 2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice. Heat to boiling and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Use one of the tests described under "Standard or long-boil jelly" to determine jelly doneness. Remove from heat, quickly skim off foam, and fill hot, sterile jars, leaving l/4-inch headspace. Adjust new lids and process.

Sterilization of Empty Jars

To sterilize empty jars, place them right side up on the rack in a boiling-water canner. Fill the canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 feet. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional minutefor each additional 1,000 feet elevation. Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time as filled.

RECOMMENDED PROCESS TIME FOR REMADE SOFT JELLIES
IN A BOILING-WATER CANNER 5 min.
If you wish to skip the sterilizing of the jars, you may by processing for 10 min. Any food processed for 10 min. or more just need clean jars, not boiled to sterilize.
