Mom Tips

Pectin: this is what gives the gelatinous (gel) appearance to jelly. Some fruits do not contain pectin and, therefore, it is necessary to use pectin.

Test to see if your chosen fruit contains pectin: Place a tablespoon of alcohol in a cup. Add a tablespoon of the chosen fruit juice. If a gelatinous formation appears, it is because the fruit contains pectin.

You can find pectin in confectionery stores/culinary stores.
