Carry on making the jelly - it doesn't really matter the order since the pectin helps the jelly to set - once its in the pot - it will do its job.

Why is there no answer to where does jelly come from?
Jelly is a mixture of fruit juice and pectin boiled with water. It is a soft semi-solid food substance with a resiliant consistancy.
What is protein jelly made of?
The simplest form is apple jelly. Apples contain pectin already, so do not require the addition of it. While recipes vary, essentially fruit and water are combined, and boiled to release the juice of the fruit. This is then filtered through damp cheese cloth or a damp jelly bag to remove the solids. The resulting clarified juice is combined with sugar (and often added pectin), and simmered to reduce it to a heavy sugar. The pectin in the juice (or the added pectin) causes the jelly to jell (or gelatinize) as it cools.
In British English what is the difference between jam and jelly?
Jam is whole fruit cooked in sugar until the flesh is soft. Jelly is fruit juice cooked with pectin or gelatin until it congeals.
What is meant by a pectic substance?
Pectin is a natural gelling agent which is found in fruits. It occurs in higher concentrations in some fruits than others, with those of the citrus family being high in pectin. Crab apples also contain more than average amounts. Pectin can be extracted from these fruits, refined and then either bottled or powdered to be added as a gelling agent when making low-pectin fruit jams and jellies. Rather than using refined pectin, it is also possible to add lemon juice to a recipe to make the jelly 'set' although this can give a definite lemony taste to the finished jelly, whereas refined pectin is almost tasteless when cooked. So, a pectic substance could either be a fruit containing high amounts of pectin, such as crab apples or lemons, or it could be a concentrated form of pectin, such as a bottled or powdered gelling agent.

Is pectin a protein?

What is the difference between jelly jam and jam?
Jam is a preserve made from whole fruit and has a rough texture.Jelly is a softer and is a strained fruit spread without bits of fruit.Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result).
How do you make jelly?
You take fruit and make sure you get all of the juices out, you add pectin and sugar. Then get a pressure cooker and put it into jars until it says it is done. Then get it out with tongs (IT WILL BE HOT) and wait for it to set and go cold before putting it away. ................................................. Jellies and jams are made by boiling fruit with sugar until the mixture "jells" or thickens. Many fruits, particular apples, contain enough natural pectin that additional pectin is not needed for jelling. Other fruit needs the addition of pectin, or apple peels which are high in pectin, for a good jell. Jelly, at least in American cooking, is made of strained fruit juice and sugar so that the end product is clear. Jams are made with crushed fruit, with or without seeds, so that the final product is thick and dense. Jams became popular with home cooks as they made more economical use of fruit with less waste than the clear jellies. Preserves can be a combination of the two techniques, with hole or cut fruit suspended in clear jelly.
