This is my preferred pectin for all of the vaious jellies we make in our home... dandelion, lilac blooms, crabapple blossom, Queen Anne's Lace, crabapple, hosta flower, etc. It always sets, though sometimes it may take up to 2 weeks, overall it seems to set within the first 24 hours. Don't give up if you think your jelly hasn't set right... you can always use it as syrup instead to flavor tea, for [ancakes & waffles, etc. But do give it 2-3 WEEKS before deciding your jelly didn't set right. I thought some of mine was going to be syrup, but a few weeks later I opened a jar & it was jelly, not syrup.Something I found to be VERY helpful in my jelly making....I found the BEST way to cut back on foam in my jellies is if I remember to PREMIX the PECTIN into some of the sugar BEFORE adding it to the jelly mixture. After several batches of jelly I could NOT figure out why my first batch one had almost NO foam, but several others did... almost a full pint of just foam! When I made some different kinds of jellies a few months later I mixed the pectin INTO the SUGAR before whisking it into the jelly mixture & sure enough, only a little bit of foam! I know some recipes call for butter to eliminate foam, but A) I don't want to add dairy to my dairy-free jellies, B) it is NOT known whether that will impact the shelf life of the jelly, C) it adds another step, & D) it adds to the expense. I'll just mix my pectin in with the sugar & avoid the extra work, possible spoilage, etc.

This is the first time I've used this product. I made blueberry jelly with very little sugar. The recipe called for 1/2 cup; I used 1/4 cup and added a teaspoon of cinnamon. It firmed up nicely and I've been enjoying it all week. I only made enough for one week, so I'll be making strawberry jelly for next week. Glad I found this. I much prefer this fresh, low-sugar jelly over store bought. I'll buy this again.

Product great, but don't believe the 'two day shipping'....got everything ready the night before to make about 24 pints of jam, then this did not arrive until 5 days later! totally blew my schedule out of the water, ended up freezing the blackberries.
