Notes

• Use less powder pectin than liquid pectin. For one pouch of liquid pectin use 2 Tablespoons of powder pectin. Process: Change when the sugar and pectin are added. Combine powder pectin with the fruit and juice at the beginning of the recipe but do not add the sugar at the same time.  Bring fruit and pectin to a full boil for 1 minute.  Then add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.  Continue with the recipe.
