A little tip from an old hand at making all kinds of jellies. If you will put just 3 or 4 half ripe berries in with the ripe fruit you won't need sure jell. The half green fruit has natural pectin that sets the jelly.

Alan, Just FYI, I just made a quart of blackberry vinegar from the leavings out of the press from making jelly. The scraps left after squeezing the juice for one batch made a great tasting vinegar.

The reason your double batch of jelly will not set up is because that much liquid take more time to get up to temp and condense your Juice. It is not setting up because there is to much water left in or you did not keep the temp high enough and long enough for all the pectin to fully activate the pectin. If you have a candy thermometer it has to reach 220 to set up

My title doesn't say "no pectin"... but others do.

Needs to boil for 10 minutes and where’s your lemon juice?

I followed the directions on the Sure Jell box I didn't add any lemon juice but yes, that might have been a good thing to do

Please do not put jars in the oven. I used to do that. They are only meant for wet.

Hmmmm…Jelly is not considered “wet” ?

@@BIGALTX NO, the jars. I was warming mine in the oven, but the other canners, like Sutton's Daze and others, said only warm them in water, not dry heat. So, that is what I do now. Dry heat can cause the jars to break. I didn't want to take a chance on that happening so now I heat them in water.
