Steps

1

If you have not used Certo in your recipe
2

You can add Certo at the rate of 125ml for every 1.5kg of sugar you have used in your jam. You may also find it useful to add a tablespoon of lemon juice if the fruit was very ripe and lacking in acidity.
3

Put the jam into a large pan. and heat to the boil, stirring to avoid burning. Stir in the appropriate amount of Certo, and boil as fast as possible for about 5 minutes.
4

Test a small sample on a cold plate (put the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes). A skin should form and start to set. If still not setting, boil again for another 3 minutes and test again. Once a set has been achieved, pot up and seal as usual.
