The blueberry jelly set, and does indeed taste very faintly of ginger (clearly more ginger slices are required next time), but there are little gritty bits of congealed pectin screwing up the texture, which means that unlike my horrible cherry fail1jam, it's edible, but it's not good enough for me to give jars of it away to people.

That's failed jam attempt #2 with Pomona's Universal Pectin, which I'm officially never buying again despite the fact that it's the only kind of pectin any store in Brooklyn Heights carries (clearly nobody here actually makes jam; I probably could only find Ball jars because hipsters like to buy them to drink out of them as part of their Rural Poverty Chic faux-slumming thing). From now on, I'm ordering Sure-Jell off amazon or something, regardless of how annoying the process is and how long it takes.
