I made this recipe as a triple which worked fine. Three times the recipe makes 4 medium and one large jar – seems to me it would be barely worth it to make it times one ! The setting time for this much was just over ten minutes for a full-on wrinkle on the plate.
Very yummy.
I have just made a double batch of the red capsicum jelly and am very pleased with both the taste and the consistency of the final result.
