"I love making homemade jams and jellies. This pectin works perfectly to thicken them without needing too much sugar. The price for this size container is fantastic, and I received it in perfect condition. I will definitely repurchase!"

"In my experience, this pectin is affordable and offers the best value for my jams and preserves. It really works well!"

"I’ve had great luck with this product for the last two years. While I had a few failures, I believe they were due to my own mistakes. It's more affordable than Sure-Jell, and I love the ease of use with the bulk container!"

"I much prefer using less sugar in my jams, making it much healthier!"

"This is my go-to for homemade jams and jellies. I love that it allows for less sugar than standard pectin, and it sets perfectly. Buying in bulk is also more cost-effective."

"I used this pectin for making homemade jams and jellies, and I've bought several bags. I'm well satisfied with the results."

"It was my first time making jam, and this set up perfectly! The jam isn't runny in the jar, which makes me very happy with this product."

"I've used this product several times over the past few years, and it has always worked good for me. However, I find the current price to be unreasonable compared to when I first bought it."

"I find this stuff awesome! The real flavor of the fruit shines through without all that awful sugar. The site offers many recipes and proportions for designing my own. I created a tropical mix with mango, papaya, and coconut, and it turned out excellent! I've made various flavors, and they were so easy to prepare. While some sweetener is needed, it’s significantly less than regular pectin. I’ll never go back!"

"As a diabetic, I needed a pectin for sugar-free blackberry jam. Many pectins don’t work, but this one nailed it! I had a bumper crop of berries this year, and I'm thrilled with the results!"

"I was quite impressed with the quality of these containers. They are larger than expected and the snap tops prevent spillage in my lunchbox. They are also microwavable, which is exactly what I was looking for in reusable containers. I will definitely order more in the future!"

"I always turn to this brand when the European premixed sugar and pectin isn't available. It works well every time!"

“I ordered the NH Pectin for a Baking Master Class I was completing online. As a baking enthusiast, I've always wanted to make those decadent fruit tarts with shiny fresh fruits! Using the pectin was enjoyable, and my creation was a hit with my family. The powdered pectin came in an intact package with clear and easy-to-follow directions that matched my recipe. It easily dissolved, creating a perfect clear liquid for 'painting' my fruits. Next time, I might make half the recipe as I had too much leftover, but I would definitely recommend this pectin to anyone eager to enhance their baking!”

“I find this product to be exactly what I need for my professional kitchen. It delivers great results, and I will certainly purchase it again.”

“This is a wonderful product! It’s unfortunate that there aren't larger package options available.”

"I found that this product works great without any sugar at all. I made strawberry and raspberry jams with fruit and granulated stevia, and it turned out so delicious and guilt-free that it didn't last long!"

"I was disappointed with the clumping of this pectin. I tried it out first and it immediately got very firm and wouldn't loosen. I'm glad I tested it, as it was not what I expected."

"I made plum jam with reduced sugar and it came out great! I used a mix of sugar and pectin, boiled it, and it thickened nicely. I think I could have used less pectin for a thinner jam, but I really like the way it turned out!"

"I've been using this product for several batches, and it has consistently performed well. I appreciate the ability to use less sugar, resulting in a brighter flavor in my jams."

"After trying various pectins, I find Pomona's Pectin to be the best. It allows me to control how much sugar I use, and I've made delicious strawberry jam with simple instructions."

"This is my go-to for making jams. I love that I can use different sweeteners like honey or Stevia instead of sugar. It's efficient, and I can make multiple batches at once!"

"I used a scale and followed another reviewer's directions. Absolutely no issues. Made lots of perfect huckleberry jam. Just remember, you need a scale, not measuring cups."

"I wish I had discovered this bulk pectin years ago! The bag states to use 5% of total batch weight, which makes so much sense! No more guessing with cups. I weigh the fruit first, multiply by 5%, and it works every time. This year, I made my entire year supply of strawberry jam in two batches, and raspberries were a breeze! I even made a small batch of mulberry jam with just two quarts and got four half pints! If you stick to the ratios, it works every time!"

"After seeing how expensive Surejell was, I decided to try this product. I can a lot—142 pints of grape jelly this year! This pectin works just like pink Surejell and is half the price. The back of the package tells you how much to use compared to a box of pink Surejell, so I can use my usual recipes!"

"I absolutely love this instant pectin. Canning isn't my thing, so this is perfect for me. I just mix it up, let it sit, and then I've got homemade jam ready to go. Made some peach jam this morning, and it was delicious!"

"As someone who grows strawberries, I find instant pectin ideal for making freezer jam. It's so convenient and saves me a lot of time."

"I attempted to make sugar-free strawberry jam with stevia for my mom, but it took about an hour of cooking. However, with this pectin and the freezer jars, I was able to easily prepare four containers of jam to freeze for her. The instructions were right on the jar package, making the entire process simple!"
