I have made this recipe 2 times and it didn't set either time. Flavor was good and it taste great over a roast but I wouldn't recommend it as jam. Maybe my ratio is wrong - I made this based on a bottle of pectin being 6 oz, so the recipe would use a 3 oz pouch.

Great recipie! Jam did not set for me the first time, so I had to redo, but the second time, it came out great. I added a bit of cloves to it and a little more cinnamon. I later used this jam in a jam cake, and it was fantastic! Will be posting the recipe on zaar very soon.
