INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Fresh fruits and juices as well as commercially caned or frozen fruit
juice can be used with commercially prepared powdered or liquid
pectins. The order of combining ingredients depends on the type of
pectin used. Complete directions for a variety of fruits are provided
with packaged pectin. Jelly or jam made with added pectin requires
less cooking and generally gives a larger yield. These products have
more natural fruit flavors, too. In addition, using added pectin
eliminates the need to test hot jellies and jams for proper gelling.
Adding 1/2 teaspoon of butter or margarine with the juice and pectin
will reduce foaming. However, these may cause off-flavor in a
long-term storage of jellies and jams. Recipes available using
packaged pectin include:  Jellies--Apple, crab apple, blackberry,
boysenberry, dewberry,  currant, elderberry, grape, mayhaw, mint,
peach, plum, black or red  raspberry, loganberry, rhubarb, and
strawberry.  Jams--Apricot, blackberry, boysenberry, dewberry,
loganberry, red  raspberry, youngberry, blueberry, cherry, currant,
fig, gooseberry,  grape, orange marmalade, peach, pear, plum, rhubarb,
strawberry, and  spiced tomato.  Be sure to use Mason canning jars,
self-sealing two-piece lids, and a  5-minute process (corrected for
altitude, as necessary) in boiling  water. For more information about
jams and jellies see "Preparing  butters, jams, jellies, and
marmalades".  Purchase fresh fruit pectin each year. Old pectin may
result in poor  gels. Follow the instructions with each package and the
process times  recommended in Table 1. Table 1. Recommended process
time for Jellies  and Jam with Added Pectin in a boiling-water canner.
