Arrgghh blackberry jam hasn't set...

You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

I have the opposite problem. I overcooked my apple and blackberry and now it's like a boiled sweet. It's not burnt and tastes fine but it's just rock solid. It's lovely when melted into rice pudding but useless on bread. Is it worth reheating and adding some more water?

Cheers

Cut it into small chunks, then incorporate it into muffins, scones and cakes
