Thank you for those excellent observations.
I had forgotten I bought some much cheaper bulk pectin so I’m fine for now. There’s a way to make pectin from apples but i’d have to look it up and organic apples aren’t cheap either. I don’t like really stiff jam anyway, so I use less pectin and sugar than recipes say.
What do you think of my replies to Scott? :-)
