Hard jam is the opposite of a problem, runny jam is the problem.

>people still get baited this hard on 4chan daily
how many fucking years will it take for you faggots to stop being so god damn gullible

Is no one going to answer me? Do you guys never make jam?

>>13683820
Why would anyone make jam? You can buy much better, it lasts ages in your fridge and it’s cheap.

>>13683913
why would anyone make anything

>>13683630
topkek

>>13683919
Because certain things genuinely taste better homemade, or they’re just cheaper. Jam is not one of them.

>>13683455
Add two cups of sugar and heat it up properly you retard fuck.

>jam doesn't taste better homemade
Spotted the amerifat. Jam is just as better as anything else selfmade you tastelet

>>13683677
being retarded on purpose is still retarded. fuck off with your 'bait' cope

>>13683511
>god damn Americans are so stupid they don’t know that if you add 2 cups and 4 cups together and get 6 cups of total ingredients that the sugar is obviously 1/2 of the total ingredients, god damn Americans I hate them!! Why can’t they be as smart as us Europeans!! Excuse me while I go check on Muhammad and my wife, he is culturally enriching her.
I wonder what it’s like to be this obsessed with a country you don’t live in and that the residents of said country can’t even point out your country on a map. What a sad existence.

>just as better as
Spotted the Slav. How's ESL going?

>>13684035
At least im not fat and have shitty tastebuds

>>13683998
I’ll agree that jam does taste better homemade but there’s plenty of store bought jams that are pretty good and are very close to homemade. This is coming from a guy who didn’t eat store bought ham until he moved out of the house at 17.

>>13684031
>t. got baited

>>13683511

>>13683943
Hey, calm down.

>>13683511
In this anons defense i would argue that a 4 cup container of blueberry jam containing no sugar would have 0% sugar. Using this logic, adding a cup of sugar would raise the sugar level to 25%, 2 cups to 50%, 3 cups to 75% and 4 cups 100%. Therefore 2/4 being half.

>>13683943
that would make it 100% sugar according to >>13684264 and all hopes for jam would be lost

>>13684251
How about you calm down, bitch.

>>13683455
Blueberries have natural pectin, it didn't need any extra. Mix it with water and check taste, at this stage you can only make more and hope it gets looser.

>>13683646
maybe just a splash of lemon juice?

are you sure it being bitter isnt a bad thing

i heard salt removes bitter from things like chocolate but i'm not sure it will work here

>>13683666
Satan?

>>13683455
You likely cooked it down too much. Once sugar cools down, it solidifies and becomes hard as fuck. Also, you probably don't need pectin, since blueberries already have a lot of natural pectin. You can probably fix it by adding some water and reheating it.

>>13683455
No water? I made orange marmalade and water was definitely necessary. Also, never make orange marmalade. It's gross. I don't understand how something with so much sugar can be so bitter.
