Medlar jelly, try 2. 1.3kg medlars, 1kg sugar, 2 apples, 1 lemon, 1 tsp citric acid.It passed the wrinkle test this time, set should be guaranteed. Maybe. Hopefully.@hob

@caprisonne you put a drop of the jelly on a plate that was in the freezer, and after it cools, when you touch it, it should wrinkle on the surface. There's other tests, like the drop test (you turn the plate upside down and it should stick), but i think less reliable.

@caprisonne here's the same effect on the bottom of the pan with some leftover jelly. Nice set there 👌

@jambamkin its done to sterilize the lids! the hot jelly will kill germs on it, plus you can see any leaks

@piggo neat, I've never tried that. Does it all fall back neatly when you right them?

@jambamkin yeah it takes a couple hours to set, it's still liquid when you turn it upright. Check this
