Ball RealFruitTM Classic Pectin - Flex Batch 5.4 oz ( Packaging may Vary )

This is the classic pectin from Ball and works perfectly every time for me. I love the flex batch because I don't do a ton of anything when I put something up, so it's nice if I want to try out a new recipe and only do a pint or two to try it or if I just want to do several pints of my favorites. I've made jams, jellies and conserves using this and with the exception of one failure (my fault) this has set up every time. I would not use anything else if I wanted a classic pectin. I do frequently also use Ball RealFruitTM Low or No-Sugar-Needed Pectin - Flex Batch 4.7 oz. if doing a low sugar recipe and it works just as well.

Love it jams, and jellies turned out perfect will buy from again

I have found this powder to be the best product for cooking perfect jams. Because fruits have different inherent amounts of pectin, this product is ideal. It can be easily dosed and mixed with sugar and adapted to the specific fruit that is processed. I have used it for several years now; however, I have found that the instructions for measured quantities are more a suggestion. - I modified the measurements to result in more fruity, less "hard" jams.

Good product

There is something nurturing about making jams and canning. While jam is loaded with sugar it still makes me feel good knowing that my family and friends are not eating heavily process jelly with HFC in it and heaven knows what else. Strawberries were a good deal a couple weeks back and I took advantage, I bought two flats and made jam and pie filling, I normally use low sugar pectin, I was not so happy with the result last time, the jam ended up watery after a few months. My jam turned out quite well this time, I made two batches and would have made cherry too except for running out of jars. It has been nice to treat the mailman and the UPS guy as a small sign of appreciation for all of the goodies they bring me from Amazon. This pectin gives consistent results and unless my jam making turns into a bigger hobby requiring bulk pectin I will continue to purchase this one.

I like the fact that it works as I mentioned above, I have never had a batch of jelly or jam fail when using this product. With my jelly/jam making machine it's very easy to make these products and as mentioned, I do not have failures. I have been using this product for 7 years now.

Peach jam

Taking some time to make ordinary things yourself is really rewarding. Maybe not all the time, but at least once in a while is a real treat! Making your own jams and jellies couldn't be easier with this brand of Pectin. It really only takes a few minutes! And it's amazing how you can even make healthier jams without loads of sugar and unhealthy sweeteners. I love DIY products and being able to prepare regular foods in the way that suits my healthy lifestyle. And this product gives you a easy way to make healthy, homemade jam that is great to give away as holiday gifts to friends and family. I'm all about thoughtful gift giving and investing in this product really goes a long way to adding some happiness to someone's day
