Pomonas Pectin Universal 1.1 Ounce (Pack of 3)

Love this stuff. Works great with reduced sugar jams. Been using it for years. Great, firm set. Easy to use. No flavor.

I’m not the most avid canner. But I like making my own blackberry jam. A couple years ago I was searching the web for ways to make it with less sugar. When I pick blackberries I like to carefully pick the ripest and sweetest ones and then freeze them to later make jam or pies. It bothered me that the regular pectins recommended using equal amounts of sugar to fruit. It just seemed wrong to do that to my blackberries. And that’s a LOT of sugar! It actually took a long time of searching to find information about Pomona’s. I have never had any trouble with this pectin. I have always used a ratio of about 4 cups berries to 1 cup sugar. I just made a batch the other day - a little over 12 cups berries to about 3 1/2 cups sugar. About 6 teaspoons pectin, about 6 teaspoons calcium water, and lime juice. Every time I make it, I worry that it isn’t going to firm up because it’s so thin when I pour it into the jars. But after it cools off, it’s perfectly thick! It tastes like solid blackberries. Great for pbj sandwiches, or to mix with plain yogurt. If you can find this at a local natural food store, you might be able to get it a bit cheaper than Amazon. But if the natural food store is far away, cost-wise I think you're better off buying a 3 pack on Amazon. BTW, I can probably use up one package of Pomona's pectin for 16 cups of berry pulp for jam. I've never made jelly, but I think it would be about 12 cups of fruit to a package of pectin to make jelly. So Pomona's may cost a bit more than the regular pectin, but you can get more jam or jellies per package.

My make low sugar(honey) Jam and jelly through of the year. My friends and grandkids like my jelly because they are not to sweet and healthier. I use minimum pectin and sugar. I tried most of the pectin in the market. This is pricier but the best pectin available.

This work great for making sugar substitute jams and jellies

This product does not affect the flavor of the jam, however the jam does have a different consistency than your typical sure-jell. Of course it’s not as syrupy as the jam that you use tons of sugar for, But also there’s just a tiny hint of a gritty texture to it. I only notice it if I take a bit of it from a spoon. You would never notice if the jam was applied to toast or a sandwich. I personally think it’s Worth it, considering the monumental difference in sugar needed. More importantly, the flavor of the Jam is considerably brighter and fresher. I made a strawberry and peach. Each box makes 2 to 3 batches of jam. Usually healthy things are considerably more expensive, however this would be only slightly more expensive than other pectins. You have to add a calcium solution to the jam to get it to set - this is very easy and doesn’t really add anything appreciable to the process. Once you’ve done one batch, you’ll have the hang of it already.

Absolutely love that product always use it don't have to use near the sugar you do with other products

Best pectin to use and great for use with sugar substitute or honey

1st time purchase works much better than other brand I bought before
