I tried to make blueberry and orange jam but it just didn't set at all. Only thing I can think is that I boiled it too hot, is that a thing? Instead of small bubbles and scum I got big bubbles. I jarred it anyway and stuck it in the fridge, but i'm not holding out much hope. Has anyone had much success reboiling jam with liquid pectin?

No that's not a thing. You want a full rolling boil. I have not reboiled with pectin though I believe people do it. I'd just use it as an ice cream/yogurt topping or for smoothies etc. Next time, test how well your jam is setting by putting a bit on a cold plate and seeing if it congeals.

Thanks for this. I guess I need to invest in a thermometer or at least try the cold plate/spoon method. Thankfully it does make a really nice pancake topping.

Pro-tier suggestion here for softer set than you wanted jams. I like to use failed jam to make sauces for meat in the slow cooker.

I have never done anything like this before but I am super tempted right now :D does it have to be a slow cooker or could you do it in the oven, maybe in a roasting tin?

I sear my meat first and cover it about halfway in a stock pot with my braising liquid. Set it on low and let it go for like 6 hours.

Thanks! I'm pretty new to cooking at a non basic level, this seems like a fun thing to do for sunday lunch.
