In reply to Karrie. Hi, Karrie. You could substitute Sure Jell pectin instead, but you'd also need to increase the amount of sugar in the recipe. It's been a long time since I made this recipe with any other brands, so I couldn't tell you how much you'll need to add. If you decide to experiment with the recipe using different brands, let me know how it turns out! Happy cooking.

Can I make this without using your pectin calcium water and exchange that for a box of surejell pectin? Will it still turn out?

In reply to Kathy. Without being in your kitchen with you, Kathy, it's hard to guess what might have happened. My best guess would be to follow those tips from Pomona. I haven't seen this happen before.

I followed the recipe exactly but it turned out grainy. Not sure what to do now. I’ve been to the pomona’s site and it says to add more crushed fruit to bring it to the correct sugar fruit ratio, then add more calcium water and pectin. Has this happened to anyone else? The Pomona site deals mainly with fruit or juice, so not sure what to do here.
I’ve made this before and never had a problem, I hate to throw it all out.

In reply to Beverly. The nutritional amount is per tablespoon, Beverly. I hope that you love the jam!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe. I’m looking forward to making this for gifts this Christmas! I have just one question about the per/serving amount for the nutritional value, is it a single tablespoon or two? Thanks!

In reply to Connie. I'm so glad the jelly is a hit, Connie! I hope the people who receive jars as gifts love the recipe as much as you do. Happy cooking!

Addictive – it is so good, I would take a spoonful every time I walked into the kitchen! Washed a lot of spoons today. Super easy to make even though by the time I was done I had made a huge mess, but really can’t complain since it cleaned up in minutes once I had the jelly all lined up on the counter. Can’t wait to make it again – I want to get some labels made to give some away as gifts.
