[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 454859, member: 1233"] I have NEVER figured out why jam sometimes sets up thick and sometimes doesn't. I remember making it with my mom as a kid and by myself and with my aunt who is an incredible cook/canner/jam maker. some batches just do not set up thick. One year I did five batches of strawberry jam - all the freezer kind because it is a lot less work and still tastes great. every batch was done the exact same way but not all of them set up. I even had two batches where some of the containers set up and some didn't. the ones that didn't? Still tasted great, were awesome on ice cream and didn't bother me at all on toast. From what I canf igure out - jam just acts this way. My mom and even my aunt had some that were the cooked kind and they didn't always set up either. If you go and cook the pear jam now it will likely break down the pectin as that type of pectin is NOT designed to be heated. I think Ball has a hotline for questions - I would call them to see what you can do. [/QUOTE]
