Pectin for Jams and Preserves: What Is It?

Our Pectin is a premium powder extracted from selected high-quality fruit. It is ideal for making excellent-tasting jams, fruit preserves, chutneys and fruit jellies (pâte de fruit). Pectin gels are also heat resistant, so they can be served on hot dishes. Developed specifically for jams and preserves, it provides high gel strength, excellent flavour release and a slow set.

How to use pectin

Using our high-quality pectin is simple. Mix the pectin powder with sugar before adding it to your fruit mixture. This ensures even distribution and complete dissolution. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer until it reaches the desired consistency. Remember that pectin continues to set as it cools.

How to make jam with pectin

Homemade jam with Special Ingredients Pectin is quick and easy, giving the perfect consistency without prolonged cooking. Here is the basic recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg cleaned fruit, cut into pieces
  • 500 g sugar
  • 10 g Special Ingredients Pectin
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method:

  1. Mix the pectin with the sugar in a bowl to prevent lumps.
  2. Place the fruit in a saucepan and add the lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until it starts releasing its juice.
  3. Add the sugar and pectin mixture, stirring well to distribute it evenly.
  4. Bring to the boil and cook for about 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Test on a cold saucer: place a drop of jam on it and tilt it slightly. If the jam sets, it is ready.
  6. Pour the hot jam into sterilised jars, seal and invert until completely cool to create a vacuum.
