Dutch Jel Bulk Fruit Pectin, 1.8 Pound

This stuff is amazing. My husband likes to make hot spicy jelly/jam because he cannot find the amount of heat he likes from products available at the store. He was a Ball pectin only user, but it was making his hobby way to expensive. Then I found this. Now he can make his jelly to his hearts content, as this is so cost effective and works as well, if not better, than the Ball brand. He noticed that this leaves a better color from his fruits in the end result. At first he thought that this wasn't working because he was use to seeing his jelly set within an hour or so this does take longer but I think gives a better resulting jelly. Now for those who think that there is no pectin in this that's not true according to the ingredients list. I've taken a picture of it. The seller got this to us on Friday and we weren't expecting it til the next Tuesday. They also had it as 1.8 lbs and we received 2.04 lbs. I would recommend this product and seller to everyone.

I use this to save money making my Purple Pectin Arthritis Remedy. All other recipes were too expensive, I use this instead of Certo. I do have to use my blender for 2 to 3 minutes but thats quite alright and I use Wal-Mart Great Value Grape Juice for mine instead of Welchs as well. This powder does not measure the same as that liquid stuff. About a fourth teaspoon pectin is all I need for 2 cups of grape juice, even half that would likely still work nicely, or half of that. I like using the 1\4 teaspoon per two cups grape juice so far for me that's the best ratio to help me. I'm still trying to work that out about what amount works for my needs, as I am not a professional nor a doctor, nor am I offering any medical advice. I'm just sharing this review just in case there is someone else out there looking to find an affordable version of Purple Pectin Arthritis Remedy. I have not tried Dutch Gel yet to make jam or jelly, with its quality and price I will try it for that also.

Requires more for recipes than that of liquid pectins but overall did well to thicken up jams effectively.

Terrible product-does not work! Even using double the quantity usually required! You will not be happy with this product

I had a similar experience to the other 1-star reviews here. I run a jam/jelly business and have set recipes that I know work because I make them weekly. I bought one bag of this and it worked fine. My second bag, however, was a bad product. NOTHING set and I tried several different recipes from my tried and true ones. Not a single one worked. While I know this product sometimes works from the first bag I bought, when you're trying to run business for profit, you need consistent product. I had to throw out the entire bag last purchase and wasted lots of time and money in the other supplies for the failed batches. Won't buy this one again.

It takes way more than you think. A tablespoon is more like a super heaping spoonful. I would say their spoonful is 3 measured tablespoons

I make 69+ types of fresh fruit jams and fruit pectin price went up from $2.69 to $5.99! Not affordable for an 80 year old jam maker! Then I found Dutch Jell and decided to try it. It is perfect and I have had no failures! This is such a blessing for me as I give the jams away to neighbors and family. AND I have had no failures

Just like the stuff you buy in those little boxes, but at a fraction of the price. Bulk gives me the opporunity to make larger batches and play around with different recipes without being tied down to a little box... get the larger size it lasts for a few years if kept cool and dry. I've been buying bulk for years and recommend it to others.
