I found the boxes of Pomona's Pectin at my local health food store and it was reasonably priced. I need to make some jam to see what it tastes like. They say sugar is so bad for you and yet people make homemade jelly and jams loaded with lots of it.

@cbass2755 Жыл бұрын

I use organic cane sugar, and people complain it “needs more sugar “…. I like

@heathernotzdaniels6350 Жыл бұрын

Sugar, in and of itself is not bad for you unless it is taken in excess. When you consider how much jam you'd put on a piece of toast, it's not much sugar. Now, add in six items during a day that are processed with additional sugars in it that don't need to be there, then you'd probably start running into issues. The beautiful part of making your own foods is the ability to limit ingredients like sugar in your diet. I really think the type of sugar also makes a difference. I avoid most sugars, using monk fruit to sweeten most things that I need a sugar in. Otherwise, things like jelly and jam, I allow for sugar cane or honey, using Pamona's pectin to decrease the amount of sugar per recipe. It all makes a difference. ❤

Been spending last few months reading and watching videos on canning, even bought a couple of books. Question: I noticed you used the lids right from the box. Were they sterilized beforehand? Also why did you choose steaming over water bath? Thanks 😊

I got this from the complete book of small batch preserving from an Ellie Topp and Margaret Howard. I will be also be canning a strawberry preserve with the Pomona pectin, and honey. I hope it turns out OK.

Rachel, I have this steam canner and I don't believe your instructions on using it are correct. You can get the water warming up but you need to put the jars in it before the needle really moves. You put the jars in, turn up the heat and don't start timing until the needle reaches where it needs to be. The jars are building up the heat as it heats up and then is held at that temp for a specific time. Just re-read the instructions, hth.
