I have NEVER used pectin once in my strawberry jam making. If you want to use pectin, it is naturally available in citrus and apple seeds. Keep a jar aside for putting orange, lemon and mandarin seeds in etc. Give them a little wash and dry for storage until you ned them. Pop them in a little cheesecloth or muslin tied closed and pop Earth Angel Mummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841155208632194663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-2823248802852366382010-09-22T06:11:34.798-07:002010-09-22T06:11:34.798-07:00Hi Steph, I've been using your blog now for al...Hi Steph, I've been using your blog now for almost a year.

I saw that you made jam with the pectin that is made for full-sugar recipies. you said that for more jam-ish jam you needed to freeze your stuff, or it was syrup. Perhapse if you tried the "lower sugar recipie" pectin it would work out. shur jell makes it, and the box is pink. I thought your berry-sugar proportions were good (not too sweet!) but they are more lower sugar pectin Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-15090540614007017832008-06-22T17:09:00.000-07:002008-06-22T17:09:00.000-07:00I am not much of a cook, but am trying to eat heal...I am not much of a cook, but am trying to eat healthier and am totally loving your blog!

Use the Reynold's Crockpot liners for this recipe as it will cut down on the stick factor ... Plus, you can lift out the liner & just cut a hole in one corner to dispense the jam into whatever storage containers that you are Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-86745631598705188692008-06-04T04:45:00.000-07:002008-06-04T04:45:00.000-07:00My Mom just sent me your blog, so I'm going throug...My Mom just sent me your blog, so I'm going through your archives.<BR/>This is awesome!

Leaving 1/2 inch headroom and using something like a wooden spoon handle to get the air bubbles out will prevent leakage and a good seal.
