Great product, I made lovely plum jam with this

This is great for use in preserves which need help with pectin levels and also to avoid the need to reboil them if they don't set. Intra labs who make this have on their website some usage information. Something I know from reading pectin reviews people would like to see so hopefully you will find my review helpful. I mix mine in sugar before use but you can make a solution in water. You need to mix it before use 1 part to 5 parts in sugar or water of will get lumps of pectin. You also need the level of acid to be around 3 pH so buy some pH strips of range 1 to 4 to test your batch. This is so the pectin in the fruit or the liquid you make with this pectin can act. It requires acidity of about 3 to work. Also stops mould growth as long as you use sterilisation method of evening your hard and lids and ensure the preserve is 85 degrees Celsius when filling still hot jars and lids closed firmly. You also need to ensure the sugar percent is enough. You can guess this by using equal parts sugar to fruit and not adding too much water especially fir wet fruit like rhubarb and strawberries or you can buy a refractometer which will tell you the brix or amount sugar in your preserve. A about 70 percent is great for marmalade and 64 for jams though most refractometer kits come with these details.

This was the best value pectin powder I could find. Yes pectin sets jams quickly that are otherwise tricky, like strawberry and raspberry. However you do have to use quite a lot and it turns the colour a bit grey as well as imparting a slightly synthetic taste. I have gone back to old fashioned long boiling times and prefer the results!

just what i needed

Does exactly what it says on the packet…used in making homemade chilli jam 🥰

Probably good product but didn’t help set my jams
