Should have used 2 sachets of pectin for nesrly 2kg fruit and it would have been normal thickness.
Preparing jam for freezer - bc I dont have faith in my jam process. Even tho i boil jars etc i feel safer putting them in freezer. After some jars breaking in freezer, I turn them upside down with plenty of spare room in jar , on kitchen paper in plastic bag. This allows for expansion of frozen liquid straight up into widest part of jar so it doesnt get stuck in narrow part above jar shoulder just under lid which is what causes most breakages.. The paper and plastic is just added security which i also use when transferring to fridge for defrosting to ensure no mess in case i still get breakage, tho none since i have used this method.
