Thanks for the pectin recipe - it's far simpler than the ones I've been looking at.

I usually freeze the mangoes for later use, I have to purchase bottles for the carambola pickles and chutney. I usually boil the cut limes after extracting the juice in some water.I then strain the liquid and reduce it by further boiling. I then bottle it and refrigerate it . I will use it as a liquid pectin. You can see it and feel it when it is cooled.islandgal246https://www.blogger.com/profile/09139072456332225087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913275796633375635.post-68325928082543006182009-07-12T08:17:32.589-07:002009-07-12T08:17:32.589-07:00Do you have the recipes posted on your blog?

Yes, I've been looking at making pectin from lime peel, or rather the pith, so far I haven't tried it, I'm just adding the lime to the jam recipe.Ancelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187869622200533544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913275796633375635.post-34319224703878198222009-07-12T06:31:25.863-07:002009-07-12T06:31:25.863-07:00You are doing fine with the jams, the juice of a l...You are doing fine with the jams, the juice of a lime will help the jam set. Actually do you know that pectin powder is made from limes? I found that out a few months ago. I also make carambola chutney and pickles. They are very good.islandgal246https://www.blogger.com/profile/09139072456332225087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913275796633375635.post-59519300980739630412009-07-07T18:54:44.442-07:002009-07-07T18:54:44.442-07:00Hi Kanuk,
