Pour immediately into hot glasses. Commercial pectin is available in powdered and liquid forms. Because of differences between the two forms, each should be used only in recipes worked out for that form. The order in which the ingredients are combined depends on the form of pectin. Powdered pectin is mixed with the unheated fruit juice.
Liquid pectin is added to the boiling juice and sugar mixture.
Purchase fresh pectin each year. Old pectin may result in poor gels. Follow the instructions in the package for the amounts of ingredients and methods of combining them. Accurate timing is important. Place in saucepan, add water and bring quickly to a boil.
