Medley Hills Farm Fruit pectin Powder 1.5 Lbs. in Reusable Container - Premium Fruit pectin for canning jam or Jellies - 100% Natural & Vegan - Made in USA

To any Jam and Jelly makers it's a great way to save money! Works exactly how the top name brand does and simple to use.

Good product, but would be nice to have more instructions and recipes to use with this pectin powder.

Excellent product for the money. Have not had any problems with my jams setting properly while using this pectin. I have purchased this many times and will continue to do so.

I made one batch of grape jelly and it seemed to gel fine. Seemed comparable to the Weaver's that I used before. I would not use their universal recipe given on the Medley Hills label. They list a single recipe, apparently for all types of fruit jellies or jams. If you look at Sure-Jell recipes, the quantity of fruit or juice and sugar to be added varies considerably with the type of fruit and its natural pectin content. Also some recipes recommend lemon juice to change the pH and how hard it sets. The Weaver's pectin showed that 5 tbsp of bulk pectin was equivalent to one package of Sure-Jell. Medley Hills does not give such an equivalency, but I would bet it is the same. I keep a Sure-Jell package insert for their recipes for different fruits/juices and use that, though I usually use more fruit or juice than their recipes call for since I like my jams and jellies a bit softer rather than having to use a knife to cut it. If you do that, be sure to keep the same ratio of fruit to sugar that the recipe calls for so the taste is the same even if not so firm.

I've bought this twice now. I am by no means a "preserves canner", but when some things are in season (mangoes to mind), I make as much as possible during the short season. It seems that I do have to use quite a lot, and maybe that's normal, given my limited experience with canning fruit. My preserves have come out quite delish and thick using this product. I even had a fruit salad left over from an event, with all sorts of berries, melons, pineapple, and apples, and I just threw them all together and cooked them down, added this pectin, and ended up with a surprisingly yummy mixed fruit spread.
