Can you make and can (to preserve) fruit jellies with the red labeled one?

I only add gelatin to my preserved figs to make them firmer. I also add gelatin to my homemade yogurt to firm it up. I normally use certo for jellies only because I hadn't thought to try the Gelatin. duh! WHY NOT TRY IT!! Not sure of the ratio, though.

the red label is for making home make gelatin recipes....the green one is to add to your liquids for bone and joint care. I have also found that you do not need to boil any juice to make it gelatin....for 3 cups of juice, add 2 T to about 1/2 cup of water, stir to incorporate and let sit for about 5 minutes, then put in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to dissolve and pour into the juice and refrigerate....works like a charm. I wish I had know about this when my kids were little.

I haven't tried that, but I have made my own sweet/sour gummies and homemade jellos with it. The Green can doesn't jell, only the red one. :-}

I am not sure, I was told by the company if I made a jam or jelly not listed in their recipes I could not preserve it.

I can jam, and I would NOT EVER DEVIATE from tested recipes. Safety is my top priority. I know people do deviate, and that's why I got peach jam that exploded in my cupboard from a friend. Use Pomona's Pectin for setting jam with less or no sugar. I use it all the time, it's great.

I actually made blackberry preserves with Splenda. I just followed the instructions for blackberry jam and didn't mash up the fruit. I also made blackberry jelly after crushing and straining the blackberry juice, added a little blackberry schnapps and Splenda. That was good too.

Yes you can, but it's smaller thank average pomegrantes (obviously). I've had mine for over a year and a half and have gotten 1 small fruit from it. p.s. If you want fruit you will have to pollinate it yourself with a qtip or small paint brush.

Yes, it is possible. Just make sure to put in the freezer for a few minutes, like 10-15 minutes. Enjoy :)

Yes . Just follow the recipe. If it's ice cream, sherbet, sorbet...whatever. Makes awesome ice cream. One if my favorites is fresh peach!

Not at all. Their recipe book includes recipes to make sorbet, which uses no bananas. I personally love strawberries and raspberries, and you can use them frozen to make sorbet, frozen pies, etc.

I don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that. Just make sure you don't get it to cold and freeze the fruit.

I have never made jelly or jam with low sugar substitutes. Pectin is a binding agent for fruit and sugar. I would test this making a small batch and waiting 24 hours to see if it jells.

My reasoning exactly. Since "we are what we eat", we owe it to ourselves to know as much as we can about what we ingest. The more organic, the better ! As to how I keep my cherries: upon arrival, I get rid of the plastic bags they are packaged in originally, and transfer them in 2L glass canning jars (with a rubber gasket on the attached lid). I think glass is better than plastic to maintain a neutral taste, especially over longer periods of time and at room temperature. Our jars of cherries sit out on the counter, not in the frig. Thanks for sharing !

It has a recipe book that comes with it but you could just look at one of them that is close if you want to change it a little and be just fine, that is what I've done. I have made peach jam, blueberry jam, grape jelly and blackberry jelly this year with it and they all turned out great even though I used my recipes.

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

I dont think so. Its jello/glue consistency and come with them facing each other and you pull it apart with the plastic. I've never left one out for more than a few days cause they work so well!!

No, I don't recommend that. It will dry out the fruit. The nuts will be OK, though.

no specific instructions for fruit. i suggest calibrating to zero using distilled water and then assay your sample.

I haven't tried any of that, but I did look through the book, nothing was mentioned. When you use the fruit you need to let it set out for 12 min. to get to the right consistency, so I don't think a liquid would work. They do use liquids to pour over it after its finished, like rum. I hope this helps, its really a great item.
