I made this recipe yesterday and though it tastes good, it is syrup. I thought I'd wait a little while before declaring it *not jam*, but after 24 hours, it is still liquid. What a shame. I followed everything to a "T" and then hot water bath canned the jars. Cooking the jam longer after adding the pectin, is all I can think. After filling four 8 oz. jars, there was a small amount left in the warm pot (maybe 3 oz.?) that sat until I was done cleaning up...this small portion is a bit firmer than the rest of the lot, probably because of the added heat. I was glad that the yield was accurate, though. Will taste good on waffles.
