orange marmalade

I have many jars of orange marmalade "syrup". What did I do wrong? Is it not enough sugar? I cooked it to 230 degrees.

Can I take the mixture out of my canned jars and add more sugar to make it jell?



Lillian,

You could try to reprocess the marmalade. I'd go ahead and use pectin if you choose to do this. There should be directions for reprocessing right in the box.

But why don't you wait a few weeks. Sometimes it takes a while for the orange marmalade to thicken up. Wait first and if it still does not get thick then go ahead and reprocess.

Hope that helps.
