Made a batch of chilli jam/jelly used NIgella's recipe - absolutely gorgeous.
Made second batch - too runny... can i rescue it? Thinking of putting it back on to boil or is it too late?  :'(  Should i call it chilli sauce :-X

Thanks

i must admit if my jams etc are runny i put them back on the heat to boil, seems to work

Hi there

I have this recipe and was wondering if you used sugar with added pectin. Some chilli jelly/jam recipes use apples etc to help it to set . Nigella's recipe needs the added pectin in the sugar to help with setting as there is no other natural fruit pectin in this recipe.

I also make an apple chilli jelly and this sets without the pectin.

Just a thought!!

Thanks for the replies!

I did use "jam sugar" with pectin, will bung them back on the heat and see.....

I used this recipe and jam sugar but needed to boil it for quite a while longer than the recipe said. I always use a saucer (chilled in the fridge or freezer) and drop a bit of jam onto it, let it cool and then push it to see if it has set. Hope this is helpful - its definitely worth it!!
