I made the Autumn Cranberry Pear Jam from the Ball cookbook last night, and it’s still so liquidy! I followed the instructions precisely. What went wrong? How do I get it to set if I make a new batch?

Liquid pectin is more prone to failure than powder in my experience

Sometimes pectin is finicky and takes a while to set. Some people have had to wait as long as 3 weeks! I would give it like 3 days to see if it sets up and reevaluate then.

Is the pectin old? Did you double the batch? Did you use really ripe fruit?
