have you guys ever tried this?

I used this all the time when my kids were growing up to make sugar free jam! It works beautifully!...

this is soooo worth trying if you would like to make jams this year...my one word of advice...by the best, freshest fruits with the most intense flavor you can find because there is no sugar they have to stand on their own.....I never tried to make jelly but I imagine it would work as well as the jam did! I have not canned in a couple of years but I intend to do it this year with the strawberries to start!... :icondance

used one very similar last yr with black berries and loved it too much :sadblinky works good as a thickener in fruit pies if you refregerate them and do the crust seperate from the filling in cooking.

I used to buy it when I cooked marmalades.

What exactly is pectin? Some sort of fruit extract that thickens like gelatin?

yup! :wave it part of the fiber in fruit actually you do not need it with some fruits ..they have all the pectin needed to jel themselves however it adds to the certianty that you will have a solid jam or jelly when you are done
