Why do I need to use the corn syrup since we are always told how bad corn syrup is for our health?
Teri
Hello, this is just a sample recipe. You can use other sweeteners.

I just cannot spend $90 on pectin for a home kitchen. Is there any way to buy it in (much) smaller quantities? If not can you recommend another pectin. I have already had multiple recipe failures.
Thank you so much, Nancy

what is 80 brix temperature in Fahrenheit
Teri
Hello Fran
Although there is a correlation between Brix and temperature, we highly recommend using a refractometer to measure Brix. Using a refractometer guarantees that no other variable such as altitude etc.. is effecting the Brix-temperature relationship. It is possible to take note of the temperature at your desired Brix level using a refractometer and cook to that temperature in the future. If you are trying to cook using a thermometer this is the easiest way to ensure the accuracy of your cook temperature.

In the recipe, you refer to a slab. I assume you mean something like a marble slab? Can these be poured into a cookie sheet or molds?
Thanks
Teri
Hi Lise
Yes, you can use molds or a cookie sheet either one.
