You do not boil the filled jars of jelly?
Teri
Hello Marilyn
You can either do a water bath or the inversion method.
Many people prefer the inversion method because it saves time.
Either way will work.
Becky Myers
Do you recommend using canned crushed pineapple in it’s own juice or fresh pineapple?
Teri
Hi Becky
You can use either. The canned might be easier and yes, you would want it in it’s own juice.
DENNIS
No water bath or inversion is needed if correct amount of pectin is used, will set.
Teri
Hi Dennis
You are correct, our Pacific Pectin Mix can set independently from hot water baths and inversion method. We do recommend consulting with the FDA for food safety standards and procedures.
Ann
Hi there,
Are we suppose to add the pineapple in its juices or strain?
Thank you!
Teri
Hi Ann
You can use canned pineapple but you want the kind in juice not syrup and you can use the juice.
mary jacobs gorrell
do you have a recipe for low sugar pepper jelly?
Janie Greenwald
Good morning, I am going to make true jellies. (no fruit, just the juice). Do you have recipes for this? Thank you, Janie
Teri
Hi Janie
When making a Jelly you would substitute the fruit weight for the juice weight. This is for juice not juice concentrate.
Go to our “Info” tab then “Instructions” and click on the “Creating A Recipe” link.
This will help you develop your own recipe with your own.
If you have more questions, you can email me at support@pacificpectin.com
I hope this helps.
