Pectin for Making great Jam.
This works well. I made about 12 large jars of plum jam. I thought I did everything right. But it turned out to be very running. Afterwards I checked out Amazon for pectin and this looked interesting like it would work. Sure enough I imported all my 12 bottles, no 11 bottles as my family likes the running plum jam for putting in plain yogurt. I put in a slight bit more than the instructions said and re-Jarred the jam. Within about 2 hours the jam was set and all the jars were perfect. This is because of the pectin. I have enough for lots more hame making. Next I will make Seville orange marmalade! The photo is prior to using the pectin as I don’t have a photo of after.

Great but follow instructions
Functions as expected but you do need to follow the instructions. Unlike liquid pectin (which you add last) this needs to be added to the fruit with a small amount of sugar before you heat the fruit and add the sugar.

The economics of jam
My fruit tends to be free. Provided by Nature. For the low pectin fruit (like raspberries or strawberries) I previously had to use pectin sugar at £2 for a kilo bag. Now I use 69p ordinary sugar with the recommended 8g of this pectin. Result is that my jam now costs just under half of what it did before. And there is also the flexibility of using smaller amounts for mid pectin fruit. I am still in the trial and error stage but after a batch each of raspberry, apricot, plum and strawberry I am pretty confident that I will now get it right just about every time. I have also discovered that it's best to pre-mix the powder with some or all of the sugar before adding it. That way there is no possibility of lumps of undissolved pectin forming. I haven't yet had time to test shelf life (which they claim is 18-24 months) but I think I'll have used all my first lot before then. When I re-order I'm going to go for the largest size. I recommend this product!!!!

Good product
My wife wanted this to try as she was making cherry jam from the cherry's from our tree this year, 24 jars later and still some of the pectin left, it worked better than the Tate & Lyle sachets.

Does exactly what it says in the listing :-D
I use this product to make mainly jam but also occasionally to thicken pickle/chutney. My main issue? I use so much I need to find a new use for the big white tubs! A local nursery uses them as drums for toddlers, the garage is sorted with labels on the sides, some have pasta inside, etc.etc. :-D Talking of labels the ones on the tubs are very easy to pull off, meaning it can be easily re-labelled for storage…. … so no landfill!!! 🙂 But enough of the packaging…. … this pectin is very easy to blend with sugar before adding to the jam, meaning no annoying pectin powder clumps as you cook. Seriously… absolutely happy to recommend this to everyone 😁 And the seller? I had a problem with ordering recently … nothing to do with product itself… and had a very fast response by a friendly seller who went beyond the to fix everything … happy to recommend them too 🙂 I’m disabled and make the jams to stop my mind going down the rabbit hole of depression when I can’t do things I used to. Easily. Making stuff to put into jars keeps the demons away… trust me, this is relevant! Obviously MS, Lupus and arthritis means we’re not exactly flush with money meaning most things I love doing are now pretty much unaffordable. This seller has not increased the price in over four years… the product typically works first time so no wastage… speed of delivery is awesome … … Altogether meaning I CAN still do something I absolutely love… because of them 🙂 Thankyou 🥰
