Choosing Pomona’s Universal Pectin for making jams and jellies offers several compelling benefits. One of the primary advantages is the ability to control sweetness, allowing me to use significantly less sugar than traditional pectins. This makes my preserves healthier and lets the natural flavors of the fruits shine through, resulting in a fresher, more authentic taste. Pomona’s Pectin sets with calcium rather than sugar, ensuring a consistent and firm set every time, regardless of the fruit’s natural pectin content. This makes it incredibly versatile, working well with all kinds of fruits, including those low in pectin like berries and stone fruits.
Pomona's Pectin is made from citrus peel and is non-GMO and vegan.
