Thank you so much, Alee. I knew you would find it.
So, do you think I could re-process some of this syrup with chillover powder and turn it into jelly?

Well since two farmgirls had problems with the plum jelly recipe from the canning books...perhaps it is faulty! So I don't think this is cheating if you were mislead (or even if you weren't!) Cheating would be buying it from the store after you tried to make it, right?

Well, last night I dumped out the first batch I had made without the pectin. I added 2 packets of chillover to 4 cups syrup while boiling. I didn't add any more sugar since I already had sugar in it. After I canned them up, I thought I might have made a huge mistake because the jam recipe called for 4 cups juice and 2 cups sugar and thought that maybe my 4 cups total might not be enough and I could end up with a super-solid. But that doesn't seem to be the case. When I tipped the jars this morning to check for set, it still moves but much much slower. I'm not sure if I have jam or just even thicker syrup. Maybe it will set up more in a day or so.
Anyway, I'm done with the plum juice. I had no idea how much work 2 gallons of juice would be! I still have 4 buckets of apples to put up and peaches are coming in Friday. I don't think I'll try jelly again. It was a lot of work and re-work. I'll stick with what I know and that's preserves and butters.
