Hi,
Can you please tell me if sure jell is the same as Pectin? And How much one package is? It’s hard to get in the Netherlands and only pectin in 1 kg. packages! I’ve searched for a very long time and finally found one online store that did sell it. So….sure-jell’s not available here.
Wil you please give me some advice what to do ? Thanks in advance!
Wish you have a fantastic day.
P.S. Will you send me answer by mail please? I would be very gratefull!
Hi Marja, Sure Jell is pectin. And the packages come in 1.5 to 2 ounce sizes here in the states.
If you can get fruit pectin in the Netherlands I would use 0.001 kg of that. That should work I think in this recipe.
Best of luck!
I have a large can of whole berry cranberry sauce, can this be used to make jelly?
Hi Karen, I don’t know if using whole berry cranberry sauce will work in this recipe.
