I have just made the apricot conserve and it is gloopy. When it is spooned out of the jar it leaves a trail like honey or golden syrup. It is almost nearly all just fruit with no 'jam' around it. What have I done wrong?

Hello,
It could be that you didn’t boil it long enough to achieve a set or that you made a mistake when weighing out the ingredients.
If it’s the former you might like to try and boil it again but if you do that you will need the wash and sterilize the jars again before you pot it.
