I love the idea of jam, but I never seem to actually eat the jars I purchase. Why? Because they only taste like sugar. This pectin gels with calcium instead of sugar, so you're free to use any level of sweetening you desire. Using this pectin, I was able to make a batch of peach preserves sweetened only with orange juice concentrate, that set very firmly. The only way to distinguish it from a boughten peach jam was that it actually tasted like fruit!
Even better, one package took care of a half box of peaches, and produced 21 1-cup jars.

I cannot say enough good about this pectin!
I've been making jam for 30 years, always using the "regular" kind (Sure-jell, etc.). Wanting to use local honey, I searched and found out about this product and bought it at Whole Foods.
It is fantastic. Just made blueberry jam with it, and have eaten much strawberry jam over the past month. The jam is perhaps a bit softer but it's good as jam - though we also use it in yogurt, on ice cream, and on pancakes. It's fantastic. It helps get enough fruit in our diet, with the local honey helping with allergies. No sugar other than the honey, not too sweet - wonderful.
As an added bonus, their Jamline is awesome - she always calls back quickly with thorough support. Who knew companies still did that??

I was thrilled to find this pectin, not just because of the low-sugar/honey/etc. options, but because there is total flexibility in quantity. Regular powdered pectin requires precise batch sizes in addition to the precise quantities of sugar. With Pomona's you can adjust to whatever amount of fruit you have available. Also, if things don't turn out just the way you want them on your first try, it is very easy to redo, and instructions for this are included. I made a batch of chokecherry jam for the first time. It turned out not-quite-sweet-enough (hard to judge) but I was able to remake the jam, adding sugar and honey to taste and a little more pectin for a firmer set, and it turned out beautifully. This pectin will also apparently work with artificial sweeteners.

Pectin
It is kind of hard to work with. You have to blend it it get the lumps out but it makes sugarless jam perfect.

Excellent Product
I am so pleased with this pectin. We have been looking for a way to make low/no sugar jams, but none of the Ball/SureJell pectins (low sugar versions) worked the way we'd hoped. Read more

Absolutely the best store bought pectin I've used
This pectin works beautifully and what I love about it is that it is NOT apple pectin. I have friends who swear by "Surejell" and the like, but to me, when preserves are made with... Read more

Works great without much sugar.
This product works with calcium. You can use little or no sugar if you like. Also can use artificial sweetener.
