You can re-make runny jam to try to save it.
You can also use runny jam for syrup on pancakes. That's what my grandmother would do with hers that "failed". Blueberry pancakes with cranberry jam/syrup is amazing.
My policy is to try re-making it once, and then just use it as syrup (pancakes, waffles, French toast), ice cream topping, a pie filling component, or drizzle for cakes, etc.
Even a year later?
I usually try to salvage the jam immediately, so I don't know. You could try re-making one jar and see if it sets?
