Not enough sugar in strawberry jelly
I just made 38 jars of strawberry jelly and realized I did not put all the sugar in recipe. I thought I could scale back until I read the small print on Certgel.
Can I dump it all back in a pot and recook it adding the rest of the sugar, or do I have to throw it all out and restart?

Your packages of pectin, regardless of brand, has instructions on how to rescue failed jellies and jams. It's been satisfactory for me when I've had to rescue jars I've had fail.

What happens if I use less sugar in jam?

Always use a ratio of at least 1:1 or better still 1:1\xbd \u2013 fruit:sugar. To make the perfect jam you need to add at least equally quantities in weight of sugar to the fruit as it cooks, so it will set correctly.Can I add more sugar to my jam?
This is to give the jam a better, less firm, consistency. It's too late to add more sugar if the jam has already set and cooled. In this case it can be thinned out by mixing in a little sugar syrup. If the jam is very firm and has a rubbery consistence, gently warm it while adding the syrup.NO SUGAR Strawberry Jam Recipe with Step-by-Step Water Bath Canning Tutorial
