I made a batch of my husbands favourite whisky marmalade yesterday, for the first time. It was far too runny, so I cooked it for a while longer. It looked fine, so poured it into jars. A few hours later....its far too set, and really thick and rubbery! What a waste of time and money. Can I rescue it? Any ideas welcome!
My DH picked lots of loganberries from a self pick farm, thinking they were raspberries. I made jam and over-thickened it. Still made him eat it, anyway.
How about scooping it all out and putting it in a pan and reheating and adding orange and lemon juice (assuming you can get any!). Resterlise the jars.
Bluecat I adore loganberries but haven’t seen any for about 20 years. In my mind I can still taste them. I used to make red currant and loganberry pies during the summer months.
This was a reply on Mumsnet to someone who had overboiled jam:-
" I reboiled one of the jars I'd made earlier and added boiling water to thin it out. Then added the jam to a new sterilised jar. Had a look at it this morning and its a lovely consistency, not thick at all!! "
@Bradfordlass73 Thank you for the link to so many British recipes using whiskey. So many of them look delicious, particularly the Caramel & whisky sauce. I printed it out and will try it out soon. I've never made my own marmalade, but may try making it as well.
