Regal 10 lb. All-Natural Pectin

I make a lot of jam for farmer's market sales. That is why I bought this bulk pectin. But I have gotten inconsistent results. It works well in some recipes but for others the normal amount of pectin totally fails to set the jam. Adding an additional quantity of this pectin, sometimes double the normal amount, will usually do the trick, but not knowing if it is going to work without testing is a real pain.

I make over 400 jars of jam per season. This pectin is a great value, but I have had somewhat inconstant results with some types of fruit. The pectin worked great for me with all types of berry jam except strawberry. After many failed attempts to use this pectin with strawberries, I had to move on to another brand. Peach was also a problem with inconstant gel. Still, once you get your recipe tuned in, this pectin is about your most affordable option for large batch jam production. I still purchase it for my berry jam, and sometimes "cut" it with another brand of pectin when it gets a little old and I start getting soft jams.

I just made a batch of cranberry apple jam using this pectin and it worked beautifully! For a small batch (1/2 pint) of an experimental jam I boiled 1/2 cup each cranberry juice and applesauce (both unsweetened), added 2 tablespoons of this pectin and boiled for one minute, then added 1 cup of sugar and boiled for 4 minutes. It came out very sweet (I wasn't sure if I could use much less sugar and still get the pectin to gel but I'll experiment next time) and gelled up nicely! I'm very excited to experiment with so many more flavors now that I have a ton of pectin at my disposal! It's rather expensive to buy this much pectin at once (I gave some to my sister who also loves to make jam) so I'll move it to an airtight container and hopefully it'll last a long time if I can keep it away from moisture.

very good pectin, and at a great price!! i do a lot of jam, jelly, and preserves making. i've found that most brands of pectin gel just fine, with a little extra care. something i do is to always use just a little less liquid (juice) than the recipe calls for, as well as keep at a 'rolling boil' for an extra 1 to 2 minutes beyond the package/brand instructions time. i rarely have had a jam, jelly, or preserve fail to gel adequately. however, when it does happen i use it for either a topping over ice cream or over pancakes/waffles.

Perfect pectin for our strawberry jalapeno jam. Worked as expected and desired. Will purchase again when needed. Arrived quickly and box was in good condition.

This pectin was awesome! So many other brands come out colored yellow, and are very clumpy. This pectin is very fine, didn't ever clump, and doesn't discolor the product

Worst product ever. I used a full cup of this pectin to make 8-8 oz jars of jelly and it didn't set. I tried 5 times and each time my jelly wouldn't set

The price is great on this pectin, but it doesn't work. I've had to double the amount and my jam still won't set up properly. Going back to Ball pectin for a reliable product.

I love being able to have a bulk supply of pectin. This is very good quality and I’m never afraid I’m going to run out when making large batches of pate de fruit

Love using the all natural pectin when making jelly. The pectin comes in a large bag inside the box. Great for easy use and packaging into smaller containers.

Perhaps a slightly unconventional use for pectin, but... we use pectin in our iced drinks such as frappes. Most commercial/chain restaurants use artificial thickeners so I tried to find an alternative to thicken our drinks. about 1 to 2 tsp for a 12oz drink is plenty.

I know what you're thinking, this is alot of pectin.. It's true, LOL. But this is so cheap compared to the one I could get fron my purveyor. It's pectin. Nothing to it. It thickens well.

We were making a lot of jams at the time, and this worked perfectly. Suggestion would be to package this up into smaller bags for yourself, so that the humidity does not get to it. Perfect!

I love this pectin! It's economical and easy to use. It makes my jams and jellies set perfectly each time and I have yet to encounter clumping or other quality issues. Shipping was fast as well!
