• Flexible sweetness: suitable for standard or reduced-sugar recipes, giving you more control over texture and flavor.
• Consistent gel: designed to provide a dependable set across different fruit bases and acidity levels.

Usage tips

Begin with well-prepared fruit and follow tested guidance for measuring and activation. A calcium source is typically used to trigger the gelling action, and adjustments to sugar can influence texture. For best results, work in small batches when trying a new fruit combination and note the outcome before scaling up.

Storage and care

Store the bulk pectin in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. Protect it from moisture and humidity to maintain potency. When you’re ready to bake or preserve again, reseal promptly and label the package with the date of purchase.
