How-To: Pectin from Scratch

Food & Beverage

Instructables user NoFiller writes:

Pectin causes jams and jellies to gel. When using a pectin poor fruit, pectin must be added or the result will be nothing more than a fruit syrup. I refuse to use store bought pectin because I think it takes the craft out of jam and jelly making. Usually I just add apple skins and cores to whatever I’m making, but I thought I’d give making my own pectin a try.
