Possibly not my greatest success
When I made the juice for the medlar jelly, we didn't have any apples in so I thought I'd just slosh in a bit of bottle pectin when I boiled it up today.
(Medlars do have some pectin, but not much.)
Today, though, I realised I'd finished the pectin when I made chilli jelly the other week and not bought any more. Hrm.
I stuck a bit of citric acid in, and the jars are currently in the fridge in the hopes that that will trigger a change from 'faintly gloopy' to 'very soft set', but I'm not hopeful.
And the first storm of the season has just arrived. With amber wind warnings overnight, I hope that the phone and power stay up!
