Question Has anyone made jelly?

How did it happen and what do I do with this stuff

I had previously made a 25 gal (95l) batch that didnt convert properly. I think its because I got in a hurry and didnt add the methoxide at a SLOW and steady rate. Instead, I let the methoxide sit for half the time I usually do (this time 4 hours) and then fed it into the processor at full throttle

I'm using NaOh, 3.5g base
20% methanol
2.5 hour processing time in the reactor.

I still have the 5 gallon buckets sitting around with some chunks of jelly in them and a skin layer on top.

What would you all suggest?
