Overview

Pomona's Universal Pectin offers a flexible path to homemade jams and jellies without relying on sugar for structure. This set includes three 1.1-ounce boxes (3.3 ounces total), a packet of monocalcium phosphate, and an instruction sheet. It’s designed for low- or no-sweetener recipes and supports a clean-label approach that highlights real fruit flavor.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Three boxes of universal pectin (1.1 oz each, 3.3 oz total) ready for multiple batches.
• No sugars or preservatives in the pectin itself for a purer fruit preserve.
• Ideal for low- or no-sweetener jams and jelly, letting fruit flavor lead.
• Includes a monocalcium phosphate (MCP) packet and a detailed instruction sheet to guide gel formation.
• Estimated yield: up to about 45 half-pint jars, depending on fruit and whether you make jam or jelly.

What You Can Make

Use Pomona's to craft preserves that focus on fruit brightness and texture. The low-methoxyl pectin gels with calcium rather than sugar, making it a good companion for those exploring lower sugar options while maintaining a pleasant set and mouthfeel. The included MCP powder helps achieve a consistent gel, and the instruction sheet offers fruit-specific guidance so you can tailor recipes to your harvest.

• Pair seasonal fruit with minimal added sugar to highlight natural aromas and flavors.
• Follow the instruction sheet for fruit-specific amounts to achieve your preferred texture.
• Explore a range of preserves—from softly set jams to firmer jellies—by adjusting sweetness and fruit selection.
• Store finished jars in a cool, dry place and label them with the preserve type and date.
