While waiting for this to "jell" it never really got there after a LONG time boiling. I decided to jar it and see what happens. It almost seems more like an apple sauce than jelly but I'm waiting 24 hours to see how it all sets up. Has anyone else had trouble getting it to jell in the pot, and is it supposed to have a saucy consistency?Replies 2
