Pure Pectin

Commercial grade Pectin, with NO added sugar.

Pectin is a naturally occuring product in fruit, that helps the setting of jam.

Some fruits have less pectin than others, and the riper the fruit gets the less pectin there is.

Pectins are substances in fruits that form a gel if they are in the right combination with acid and sugar. All fruits contain some pectin. Apples, crab apples, gooseberries and some plums and grapes usually contain enough natural pectin to form a gel. Other fruits, such as strawberries, cherries and blueberries, contain little pectin and must be combined with other fruits high in pectin or with commercial pectin products to obtain gels. Because fully ripened fruit has less pectin, one-fourth of the fruit used in making jellies without added pectin should be underripe.

The proper level of acidity is critical to gel formation. If there is too little acid, the gel will never set; if there is too much acid, the gel will lose liquid (weep). For fruits low in acid, add lemon juice or other acid ingredients as directed.

This is a commercial grade pectin, with no added sugar ...

Check the ingredient panel of the pectin you have been using, if sugar is on top of the list that means there is more sugar, than pectin.

Usage:-  Approximately 15 grams, or three reasonably heaped teaspoons per kilo of fruit.
