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.
Nancy
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.
kevin
is your pectin HM-100 a slow set or rapid set?
Teri
Hi Kevin
It is a slow setting pectin.
Harry
Hi thanks for the recipe! Is the citric acid enough to preserve and make it shelf stable?
Teri
Hi Harry
You are very welcome. We are always here to help. The sugar in the recipe is what makes it shelf stable. If you are using our recipe you will be fine.
