I made a batch of Raspberry jelly using Sure-Jell pectin. I only got 5 1-cup jars... (The recipe said I'd get 6, and I followed it EXACTLY) the quarter cup that was leftover, I refrigerated, and it is REAL thick, almost like fruit leather.
It would be really good in Jam thumbprint cookies or as filling for sandwich cookies, but we'd be the size of Sumo wrestlers if we made that many cookies!
I looked online, and everything points to me overcooking it, but it said to bring it to a FULL ROLLING BOIL (one that cannot be stirred down) and I thought I did, but I guess I was waiting for a fuller boil than I had to.
Can I take a jar and add maybe 1/4 cup water and heat it up to thin it? Will that work or will it be like syrup?
This is my 1st batch of Jelly EVER and the raspberries were fresh-frozen from the neighbor's garden. (He was reciprocating after I gave him turnips, green beans, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes and cucumbers!)
Any suggestions to save it as JELLY?
Thanks....

I'd give it a try, but maybe start with heating a jar with only 1/8 cup water then let it settle back to room temp and see if it's a good consistency.
I think water is probably the best addition and think it would work. If not, enjoy it just reheated and used as a sauce or glaze. Raspberries make a wonderful glaze for pork or chicken as well as your thoughts for cookies and cake fillings.

seperate your batter into 2 seperate dishes (they'd desire to needless to say be the same, yet once you dn't have thet, use a extensive casserole dish and decrease the cake in 2 so which you have teo equivalent length halves as quickly as their cooked), then, enable them to kick back. you place one cake on the platter your utilising, unfold your jelly everywhere in the authentic of it, then sandwich the different cake piece on authentic. in case you ice it, you will in no way understand until you decrease into it, yet once you do no longer it is going to nonetheless look great. good success:)
