As much as I love making jams and jellys, it drives me nuts when they don't set. My main disaster areas are strawberry and raspberry. I always use the juice of a lemon to add pectin, but this doesn't always do the trick and I hate to over boil it as the colour gets really dark. So this time I've given in and used powdered pectin (my Auntie Marnie will be disgusted!!!), but hey it set, yay!
