I didn't realize there wasn't any vitamins in store bought lemon juice

@sarahbencken4318 Жыл бұрын

Pasteurization doesn’t significantly reduce vitamins. The heat and time used in making jam is much higher and longer than pasteurization. Pasteurization is essentially bringing something to a high enough temperature that pathogens and harmful enzymes are destroyed. Many of these don’t even require as high a temperature as boiling.

I never have luck with powder pectin … it literally never gels for me .. I usually just add in unripe fruit for the pectin … sometimes I’ve had luck with the liquid pectin but never the powdered … don’t know what I’m doing wrong … I follow the instructions 🤷🏻‍♀️ .. funny though the unripe fruit seems to a better job

@GraceFilledFarm Жыл бұрын

Sometimes I add an extra pack of the powdered pectin if it seems to not gel enough. If the unripened fruit works well for you then that’s the way to go!

@Raynestorm1968 Жыл бұрын

A look at the finished product would have been nice. How much does it thicken??? And someone else said this does NOT taste like watermelon.....so what does it taste like?

@GraceFilledFarm Жыл бұрын

It tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher. The last minute or two is the finished project. Thickens to a normal jam consistency.

@CablingCoppelia 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. Regarding lemon juice--if you're adding it to the jam, and then boiling it in the canner, doesn't that pasteurize the juice anyway?

@GraceFilledFarm 2 жыл бұрын

You said this and I thought “🤦🏻‍♀️”. I’m so used to thinking about this difference when putting lemon in my water I never over thought it about canning. I think the 2 are similar processes from what I have read. Thank you for commenting this! I hope people realize I’m human - usually with a lot of little humans talking to me while I’m trying to think. 😂

Why don’t you make picked rinds or candied watermelon rind

@zombiemom5088 Жыл бұрын

Don’t wipe the water barely tip the jars … wiping can cause a false seal … great video .. btw new standards you don’t have to boil jars anymore as long as you’re water bathing for at least 10 min - new research

I’ve heard that about boiling the jars but I can’t seem to get past it in my head- feels wrong not to boil them 😂. Thank you for your comment!

Why not use the rind to make preserves? I just watched a vodeo about that before your video...

Question for you b/c most jams/jellies usually add the pectin b4 the sugar; is there a difference in the whole end result? I do not know; hence the question. Are there diff. results from your method? NOT BASHING THIS VIDEO AT ALL....I REALLY DO NOT KNOW. Have a GREAT rest of your night.

@GraceFilledFarm Жыл бұрын

Yes. I found a recipe a long time ago that I follow for this. It worked so I keep doing it. It did go firm but it did seem to take longer than I’d expect with most jams. I don’t usually fix it if it isn’t broke- however, yes you should add your pectin first according to jam rules and I probably should have done it that way so that I didn’t confuse anyone. I hope that answers questions! And I’m glad your jam savvy enough to know that’s not normal 🙂. My families FAVORITE jam (without pectin) is the next video that will come out. “Fall Spice”. Have a great day!
