Pectin for Jam - 30g | Natural Gelling Agent for Perfect Jam

Pectin for Jam is derived from apple pulp, beet pulp, and citrus pulp. This plant-based thickener plays an essential role in making jam and jelly because it 'sticks' the cell walls of fruit and plants together and forms a firm jelly when heated with sugar. This 100% natural pectin ensures that your jam achieves a beautiful, smooth consistency, even with fruits that naturally contain little pectin.

MessyMommy's basic rules for making fruit jam with pectin:

Not familiar yet with making fruit jam? Don't panic. MessyMommy tells you what the basic rules are. This way, it's almost impossible to fail, and you can make your fruit jam with pectin in no time.

1. Buy fresh seasonal fruit. Why seasonal fruit? Seasonal fruit often comes fresh from the field and is therefore nice and fresh. Seasonal fruit is also often much cheaper. Also good for the wallet! The better your fruit, the tastier your jam.

2. Add enough sugar to your jam.

3. The reason for lemon juice. Lemon juice provides a pleasant sweet-sour balance in your jam.

4. Is the jam thick enough? You can easily find out. Take a small plate or dish and put it in the fridge. Do you think your substance is thick enough? Then scoop a little onto the plate or dish and let it sit for 1 minute.

5. Clean jars! Want to preserve your jam for a long time without mold problems? It's important to sterilize the jars before using them.

6. Fill them up. Ready? Then put the warm jam in the jars. Tap the jar firmly on your hand or a not too hard surface to remove air bubbles.
