I just add a product called jamset to the cooking and my jam sets everytime.
The most common reason for this happening is lack of the setting agent pectin. As grapes are naturally low in this, a sufficient quantity of commercially available pectin must be added. It is possible to go back and reboil the mix with 20 percent more pectin added. Sometimes inadequate cooking time is the problem. In either case, testing a small amount on a cold saucer towards the end of cooking time is helpful. If it does not wrinkle when pushed with a finger or tilted, it isn't ready and won't set.
I made grape jelly,using sur-jel but it didn't. I tried to re cook with more pectin and sugar now it is too sweet and still didn't set up. What now? I hate to throw it out.
Jelly requires sugar, pectin and acid. If your fruit is not sufficiently acid, you need to add a couple of tbs. of lemon juice when you are making it. Don't throw your failed jelly out--you can use it as syrup on pancakes or other cakes.

∙ 13y agoTwo reasons, inter-related:
First, the juice was not reduced sufficiently.
Second, the pectin/Gelatin (Certo or Sure Jell) you added was not sufficiently dissolved.
To test for proper jelling, place a small dab of your cooking jelly on a glass plate and place it in the freezer for five minutes. When you pull it out and turn the plate it should not run, and it should be firm to the touch.

How do you make multicoloured jelly?
You make up the mixture for the first colour that you want the jelly to be, and pour a layer of it into the required container. You leave this to set completely, then make up the colour of jelly that you want the next layer to be. Pour a layer of this jelly on top of the first layer of jelly that has now set. Allow to set again. (Now 2 layers of jelly). Repeat with all required colours. The main issue with this is that jelly takes a long time to set - 3-5 hours per layer, depending on how thick the layers are and how quickly you can cool the jelly down. For an interesting effect, tilt the container which you're setting the jelly in, for diagonal layers of jelly. (Do the final layer untilted, otherwise there will be an uneven base for the jelly to be turned out onto).
