I just made some jalapeno jelly with outdated (expired 2006!) pectin.
(4 cups chopped bell pepper, 2 jalapenos (blended with part of the
vinegar rather than chopped, and Ishould have used 3 or 4), 1 cup
vinegar, 5 cups sugar, 1 3-oz pkg liquid pectin. When it wouldn't jell
I re-boiled it and used 1 package of Knox gelatin per cup of "jelly",
which is a decent save.
I still have 5 pouches of the old pectin. Given that it's roughly
$3/pouch, I'd like to use what I have. Will doubling the amount of
pectin per batch do the trick?

Cheers, Bev
