Pomonas Pectin Universal 1.1 Ounce (Pack of 3)

This is a little more expensive than other similar pectins for making jams and jellies, but it is also the most versatile. Meaning you can adjust the amount or type of sweetener that you want to! That's big! Worth spending a little more for the flexibility of sweetener choice. My husband is diabetic, so I use half the amount of sugar and believe or not it's so much better, so tasty. It's sweet enough but with a touch of tartness that makes my jams the most excellent!

Excellent product. It works just like any other pectin when following directions. Very easy to use.

I’m not the most avid canner. But I like making my own blackberry jam. A couple years ago I was searching the web for ways to make it with less sugar. When I pick blackberries I like to carefully pick the ripest and sweetest ones and then freeze them to later make jam or pies. It bothered me that the regular pectins recommended using equal amounts of sugar to fruit. It just seemed wrong to do that to my blackberries. And that’s a LOT of sugar! It actually took a long time of searching to find information about Pomona’s. I have never had any trouble with this pectin. I have always used a ratio of about 4 cups berries to 1 cup sugar. I just made a batch the other day - a little over 12 cups berries to about 3 1/2 cups sugar. About 6 teaspoons pectin, about 6 teaspoons calcium water, and lime juice. Every time I make it, I worry that it isn’t going to firm up because it’s so thin when I pour it into the jars. But after it cools off, it’s perfectly thick! It tastes like solid blackberries. Great for pbj sandwiches, or to mix with plain yogurt. If you can find this at a local natural food store, you might be able to get it a bit cheaper than Amazon. But if the natural food store is far away, cost-wise I think you're better off buying a 3 pack on Amazon. BTW, I can probably use up one package of Pomona's pectin for 16 cups of berry pulp for jam. I've never made jelly, but I think it would be about 12 cups of fruit to a package of pectin to make jelly. So Pomona's may cost a bit more than the regular pectin, but you can get more jam or jellies per package.

I LOVE everything about it. First of all , Sure Jell and others like it are WAY too sweet. I have been making jams for over 30 years, so I think I know a bit about the subject. Pomona's pectin can use no sugar, if you want and instead use honey, or Stevia, or all sorts of sweeteners. For most jams, I use less than 2 cups of sugar instead of around 5 cups for a regular pectin recipe. With regular pectin you can only make one batch at a time. but with Pomona's I think it says you can make 3 at a time, but this year I made 4 at a time, and it was just as easy, and you can fill a canner with 4 batches saving loads of time. You can also use almost any kind of fruit or combinations of fruit. I made loquat jam last year (yummy). Where are you going to find loquat jam in regular pectin recipes? You can even use bananas!!! Google it and you will find a page of different kinds of fruit and combinations. It's incredible!!!!! It is just so quick and easy and I wish I could give it 100 stars, I love it that much. They also have a jam line with wonderful people to answer any questions you have. The only problem is that people are starting to learn about it, and it can be hard to find. I like to buy it in bulk (lasts forever) at health food stores, but you can also buy it on line. Try it out, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I ordered a 3 pack but only received 2.Amazon was helpful to correct the problem.The Pomonas pectin is fantastic! As a diabetic this gives me an option for jams and jellies.

Used with the Pomona canning book. Love that the recipes are low sugar or sugar substitute. I have made several jams and they are delicious

This is the stuff to use if you're trying to go no sugar or very little sugar in your canning. If you've never used it before, less is more when you first start off. I learned that the hard way and almost had jello consistency jam 🤣 I just added more fruit and processed it again. Worked quite well

This product is amazing love this makes the best jam
