I was looking for fresh elderberries, which is the only form I ever heard of before, to make jelly. Can these be used in a recipe like fresh?

I am sorry but I am not sure. I used them to make elderberry syrup and this product was just as I expected.

yes you can if it doesn't have sugar already in it. I made my first batch last night using frozen strawberries and it turned out GREAT. make sure they're completely thawed out before using.

Although you can use it for jams, I would not recommend it. I believe the texture it produces to be more suited toward pie filling. I would recommend using pectin for jam if you feeling you need something that produces very "set up" jam. Usually, I rely on the natural pectins from the fruit to produce a desirable jam consistency.

this stuff works great for jams and jellies. You can use it in freezer jams or canned jams and jellies. Pectin uses precise amounts and this sometimes does not set up. Add some Ultra gel and you are good to go. They have a cook book with many different recipes . I recommend it for learning how to use Ultra gel

Not to my knowledge, but I do remember doing a search for different jams. Maybe they have some for jelly on the product web site.

Sure Jell is a very good choice if you are going to can jams and jellies. Clear jel will work but you have to have a perfect measure for jams and jellies. I have never used clear jel but have read where it is like corn starch and is used for thickening soups, gravies, also for baking. If you are going to can jams and jellies, Sure jell is in small packages and is already measured out for perfect batches of jams and jellies.

I tried using Clear Jel instead of classic pectin when canning blackberry jalapeno jam and it worked for that recipe. Not sure how it would work for any other recipes, though. Ball has recipes for Clear Jel.

I'm not sure. I would assume the elderberries in the organic are organic berries. The elderberries in the original are "bio-certified"...not sure what that means. I would think the effectiveness is the same. Just a matter of whether you prefer organic or not. I did not realize there was an organic option.

I add it to my smoothies. It has a honey consistency and taste. Not sure why it is called Jelly.

I do not see a recipe for jam in the recipe book but you can contact them at their email: tripleloop @fox-international.com and ask. Once you get the hang of using this machine you can turn out some wonderfully delicious breads, I've been baking so many I've decided to not buy the stuff at the store because the ingredients read like chem experiment not real food, and when this machine stops working I'm purchasing another from this company!!!

The container does not specify jelly recipes which now that I see that is strange. But, it gives a website for jelly recipes FreshPreserving.com I hope this is helpful. When I used this product for jelly I have a jelly maker that I purchased and it came with a book for the machine. Which I really love. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

To be honest, I haven't used the recipe book. I mainly just use a frozen banana and perhaps throw in a strawberry. It is just a pamphlet, if I recall correctly. It is mainly to give you ideas and inspiration. I am sorry to say that I have misplaced it.

This machine is designed for jams and jellies. Therefore that is all you can do with it. However, if you have ever canned jams and jellies you will know that it is a hit/miss with the right consistency. That is what makes this item hot. It makes perfect jam/jelly every time. I bought 2 because I tend to make bigger batches than this machine will do.

I hate to admit this, but I haven't used my jelly making machine or pectin since I bought them. Unexpectedly had surgery and have not been able to be up and around. My mother-in-law has used pectin for ages, and swears by it. That's the closest I can come to acknowledging it's existence and use. Good Luck! b

Jams and preserves also work very well. My favorite so far is the blueberry I've made using Bonne Maman preserves. Look for Bonne Maman preserves and jams at most larger grocery stores. They're French, they're really good, and quite reasonable.

I have only ever made jams and jellies, never tried anything else. It is wonderful, love it.

I just checked the label and it says it is for "jam". I don't think it would work for something clear like jelly.
