Unset jelly. Can I use it?

I make jelly with lemonade all the time (it stays fizzy when it sets - yum!) Unless the lemonade you used had some weird ingredient in it I wouldn't have thought it was that (I always use all lemonade and no water to make mine and never had a problem)

Was the water plus lemonade more liquid than you would usually add?

Or maybe it's the chemicals in the artificial sweeteners. I use 7UP as it's the only lemonade you can buy that doesn't have them nowadays :mad:

You could try it with fizzy spring water instead?

It was just bog standard 17p/2L lemonade. I have used it before and got slightly fizzy jelly. The bit that was left over still hasn't set. And definitely not too much liquid.
Perhaps it was fizzy water I used last time when it did work.
Actually, just having a think, it was a vegetarian jelly (crystals) that I used. Maybe that's why? Mind you,it's the same brand I always use!

I can feel some breakfast smoothies coming on, made with the last of the jelly and some frozen bananas.
