Any Jam Makers or Home Canners Out There?

I “fixed” a few bottles on Saturday. I’m going to find the link in case anyone is interested. Actually, in this case I added the “fixing” mixture when making a batch from a macerating mixture because I had iffy results with the batch before, I needed it for “jammy bars”, and I didn’t want to cook it to 220 degrees f.

The method I used involved mixing the pectin with a bit of sugar, water, and lemon juice first.

Apparently you might have to add pectin before sugar or it gets grainy, or mix it with something first, like this…

, but this remedy has you stir the pectin right in.
