Pomona's Universal Pectin - 1 lb bulk package

I had not canned for awhile, as my last 5yrs of university schooling really took away time for passions such as canning. I was thrilled to find this one pound bag as it can be stored without any difficulty! A friend taught me how to make jams with these about 30yrs ago now. I was all out and had to buy mainstream pectins and was quite alarmed at how much sugars were instructed to use.Not the case with Pomona's! Recipes are lower sugars and work amazing. The older instructions called for simply mixing pectin powder into the sugar (I have an old copy of the instruction/recipe paper) and I prefer the older better. It is important when adding into the mixture that it should be boiling and you stir the sugar/pectin mixture in briskly and thoroughly to ensure complete dissolving for a full 1-2 minutes. Ensuring this step thorough makes the biggest difference. Must be very hot and must be very stirred. There is much flexibility for constructing your jams using the approximate amounts in the provided recipes. I am now adventuring on to making combinations jams such as 'strawberry cherry' and 'cherry strawberry' which have different amount of pectins specified, but work find when creating my own!Happy Jamming!!! I will never use another pectin, this is truly the best. My naturopathic doctor friend is the one who took the time to teach me when I was about 23, and now I am a nurse with certificates in nutrition, and I share this with all who want to know what to use!This was a big investment to buy the 1lb but gosh I was glad to find it, as one purchase and you will be set with a season (or more!) of making Jams. This week I am moving on to currants, figs, and blackberries. Happy Summer!!

always the best choice. no fillers, sugars, or fake sugars. this is best and easiest to use, never fails. been canning my own jelly for 50 years, and started using this about 20 years ago, and am grateful to have found it.

I began using Pomona's Pectin a few years ago for jamming and will never go back to other products I've tried in the past. Super-easy to make fabulous, low-sugar jams and jellies. After buying the small packages of this product from local stores, I was delighted to find it in bulk. Much lower cost and much lower packaging waste this way! This amount will last me a couple of years; I know from experience that Pomona's Pectin has a long shelf life, even open, when stored in a cool/dry location.

I make a lot of jams every summer. This is by far the best option to buy Pomona's pectin. I have been using Pomona's section for about 10 years, and I used to buy it in small packages at the health food store. I have been buying it on amazon for the last 5 years. It comes with the pectin in one pouch and the calcium powder to mix up with water in another.The directions are simple and straightforward. It is easy to use. You can use a variety of sweeteners. I am so impressed by this pectin. I recommend this to everyone.

This is simply LM Pectin, great for lower carb products. No fillers, bulking or wetting agents(dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose/powdered sugar). As the included directions state you will have to add a wetting agent to the pectin to help it wet and disperse in a hot liquid otherwise it will clump and you'd have to run your lumpy jam through a blender or use an immersion blender.I am moving from from B*ll brand and others to this and it takes some trial and error. Expect to use around 25% of what you are used to.The calcium salt provided is monocalcium phosphate and directions have you make a saturated solution. Calcium lactate gluconate is a more soluble alternative. If you lose your packet an off the shelf liquid calcuim supplement will work in 1/4 tsp amounts.

Tried this out recently on our passion fruit juice. Worked crazy better than sugar activated pectin!! Trying to watch our sugar intake these days and tried this out. You can use any kind of sweetener you want and as little as you want. I was a able to put up some passion fruit jelly with only about a quarter cup of sugar per jar. Enough to knock off the tartness a little and left the flavor of the fruit to stand on its own. This is really quite expensive to buy in the little one use packs and the bulk cut the cost down to where it's a comparable price break to regular pectin. Super easy to use.

She uses this all the time.. I am not sure what she makes with it... I can Not give this a honest review as I didnt order this for myself.. alls I know is my sister goes through alot of this.. she really likes it... sorry

Great product and easy to use but very pricey.
