Jam Making Help Please

#	Post
1	I made a double mixture of plum jam last night. But halfway through I realised I usually do 2 separate batches. but I left it as is. When it was ready to be poured into jars, I ran out of jars. i left the pot off the heat for half an hour while I sterilized more jars in the oven. When jars were nearly ready I reheated remaining jam, not even to boiling point. Poured jam into the jars. And all was good... haha This morning I see that the first lot of jam hasn't set, but the last jars have set perfectly . Can I just empty unset jams back into pot and reboil it for a few minutes? And I am guessing I will have to wash and sterilize the jars and lids. Any help appreciated. But I dont want to be adding other ingredients to it shione - 2020-01-23 10:48:00
2	You can either reheat the unset jam in a pot, and re sterilize the jars or reheat each jar of jam separately in the microwave until hot and reseal with cleaned lids. articferrit - 2020-01-23 10:54:00
3	Thank you articferrit. Used the microwave method. Still wasnt setting then I realized where I had them was too hot. Moved them and they set perfectly:) shione - 2020-01-25 14:48:00
