Problems with black currant jelly


Hello everybody,
I made some black currant jelly recently using two pans. One pan produced excellent results, 8lb of nice firm jelly. The other pan's contents, of around 7lb, have not set. Both pans were treated identically. I have looked through my collection of cookery books and found no help, does anyone know of any way of rescuing this jelly as it goes against the grain to ditch it?
