I am about to toss my hands up on canning jelly/Jam I have yet to get a batch to jell or set on first try... I have no clue what is wrong... you see so many different ways on when to add pectin, using powder Pectin, Liquid Pectin and this weekend I tried Pomona Pectin with no luck... I follow recipes to the letter ... I have remade several patches up to 3 times... the jars on the right where sweetened with honey no sugar...

I had the same problem - tons of juicy peaches and no recipe for peach jelly. (I had already canned peach slices and made peach jam). So I followed the recipe exactly, using the peach juice unaltered from how it came out of the peaches. It did not gel. I left it for several days. Then today I decided to try re-boiling it. I boiled it and waited until it passed the sheeting test off the edge of a metal spoon and put it back into sterile jars and sealed it. It has gelled (spelling?) perfectly and I didn't have to add anything more. I suspect the peach juice was just too thin and needed to be boiled down prior to making the jelly but I think in the future I will just wait until I get sheeting, even if the pectin package says to only boil for 3 minutes. I also think the jelly is a tiny bit too sweet but I suspect that is necessary with added pectin. (Also - originally I got 9 1/2 half pint jars but today after re-boiling I have 7 jars).

Hello!! I am a transplanted Missourian originally from Minnesota. Brrrrrrrrr!
Now my husband, two stepdaughters, two dogs, three cats, two parakeets, one hundred chickens, nine ducks, and seven geese live in Hannibal, MO. Our neighbors love us at 5AM!!! LOL. We have forty acres of land in New London, MO and are building a small homestead there. We have one full acre of garden, eleven fruit trees and lots of wild berries and fruit. That's the reason I found this great site!!! I needed all the help I could get with canning.
I'm sure we will be adding lots of good things and using many of the wonderful recipes found here. I sure do love this place!!
