"
Pectin" in fruits is used to "
set" sweet preserves when used with sugar and is a great way to make jams, jelly's etc without the need of jam sugars.
I prefer to use garden cooking apples to make my "
Pectin", it's easy, cheep, can be frozen and very satisfying when used in place of jam sugars.
Roughly chop the apples, complete with pips and core
Add to your Mastlin pan and cover the apples with water then bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes
When the apples have turned to mush, pour it all into a jam bag or sieve and extract the pectin
The pectin is then frozen for up to 2 months
