jelly Flop!!!!!!
Our remote ancestors said to their mother Earth, "We are yours."
Modern humanity has said to Nature, "You are mine."
The Green Man has returned as the living face of the whole earth so that through his mouth we may say to the universe, "We are one."

Re: jelly Flop!!!!!!
Not sure what a metric cup is?
1 kilo of sugar to a litre, or 1lb to a pint is what I use.
If you have more apples I would just do some more apple, and add it with sugar to the above to try and reset it?

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

I agree more pectin is required - more sour apples should do the trickboboff wrote:Not sure what a metric cup is?
