Redoing Canning
I made some jam the other day and forgot to add my pectin. Could I pour out my jam into a pot and add the pectin and recook?

Yes you can (no pun intended). My mother and I have both made this mistake. Pour it out of the jars, and get it back to the point where the pectin has to go in (I believe that's a hard boil). Then rebottle, but don't use the same sealers. Good luck!

Re-sterilize your jars.

Yes, as others have said, you can remake it. There actually are directions on the internet for jam or jelly that hasn't set.
Also, again as above, use new lids and resterillize your jars, and process for the same amount of time as you normally would. It is not safe to seal them without a waterbath, that also means no wax seals.
