Hi Friends! Here's the LINK to AUTOMATICALLY GET canning recipes (w/ video) directly to your inbox each time I post on YT: tinyurl.com/4nadvnrd More at: www.becomingafarmgirl.com :) xoxo, Cassandra
You mentioned you weren’t terribly worried if it didn’t set up since it wasn’t being entered in the fair. Well Cassandra you should be entering your stuff in the fair! I can see jars and jars with blue ribbons on them. 2022 goals missy! Great job as always, thanks!
Hi Sharen! I’m honestly intimidated!! Our state rules seem so strict-they measure the size of each cut of fruit, color, “set” headspace to a “T” and a litany of other things-oh my! I do appreciate your compliment and hopefully one day I’ll get the nerve! I used whole green apples only because the school I work at was going to throw them away but a combination of fruit scraps from high pectin fruits works just the same. Always lovely to see you!
I googled how to make apple pectin and found this video. I'm learning to make as many things from scratch as possible. Thank you for this great tutorial!
Just found you and subscribed. I have been canning for years, but never even considered (until now!) making my own pectin! You have the voice and manner of a natural-born teacher. Passion, patience and great detail. Thank you so much! Heading over to your blog now!
Wow. I’m so glad I decided to research how to make my own pectin. My 42 yr old daughter just moved from Houston last year to our ranch. This year she is embracing how to can our own food. We got a lug of plums given to us so decided to make preserves and of course bought the store pectin. I’m looking forward to making my own pectin for next season. I think I’m going to love “Becoming a Farm Girl”
@@loribell7966If you purchase tart apples from the store, you can use the pulp in apple sauce, roll ups, etc. If you go pick apples such as not quite ripe wild apples or crab apples, give the pulp to your farm animals. Those apples weren't ripe and you were just pulling the pectin out before the wild apples ripen. Think of a line graph, left, center, right side of the growing and ripening apple. Left side of apples as unripe, high pectin, center is where the apple is changing from predominantly pectin to higher sugar content, right side, apples are high sugar/low pectin. The left side isn't the best for making homemade pectin. *I don't know how to get you tube notifications from comments, so you'll have to research this if you have questions. ❤
Today I needed a recipe for making jelly out of dandelion flower, and wanted to use a natural pectin. And of course the only one I trust is you. I am so glad that you made this video.
Somebody shared this link in a canning group on FB which led me here. I'm new to canning this year and have been watching canning videos non-stop to learn. This video is amazing. I love your presentation and well laid out instructions (both visual and auditory). You don't go on for 30 minutes with unnecessary information. Thank you for that. I've subscribed to both of your links and your YT channel, and will explore your other videos soon. Thank you for the information!!!
Last year I made a couple jars of strawberry jam using green apples. The recipe called for adding the apple to the strawberries and cooking them down. Worked well!
Hello James! Aww, thank ya so much friend! I truly enjoy being able to use skills that give me a bit of independence from the grocery store (especially when I can use my scraps). Happy canning!
Great video. We need these types of life skills that are lost in our modern "do it for me" society. Crabapples, preferably not quite ripe, are a great resource for pectin too. I actually what I do is cook apples separately from skins and cores. Then I can always much the latter and still make something with the apples. I haven't made my own pectin in years but thanks to you I should really do it again.
Hi Nancy! I couldn’t agree more. I work at a school that has a produce program and these were green apples that otherwise would’ve been thrown away. Making a staple product first then using the Scraps is the way to go. You’re absolutely right apple crab apples too! Have you heard of fruit scrap pectin? Essentially it’s a mix of the skins, seeds and cores of high pectin fruits like lemons, limes, apples, crab apples, cranberries. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful comment! Take good care, friend!
Awesome. I made a plum jam for my daughter today without pectin and even though it was so good I was really was missing that gelatinous feeling. I’m definitely gonna use this for the next jam.
Just found your channel, lovely presentation, new sub! Loved all the tips! I'm researching the best way to do this and I'm thinking I'm going to try this but with a steamer juicer to get the clean clear tart apple juice. 🤙🙂😎
I’m so happy this was timely for you! Homemade pectin is so easy to make and really provides you with an equivalent product. So happy to hear you’ve taken the canning plunge!!!! It’s delicious (and addictive) right?!
Hi Heidi! Aww, you're so kind! Thanks for joining me along my homestead dream journey. This pectin recipe works and really will help you eliminate purchasing the store variety for your recipes :)
Thank you very much, Catriona. While it does take a few hours, the process isn’t too hands on and well worth it if you’ve got apple scraps! Happy canning!
Another great share! 😊 I’ve used apples instead of the store bought stuff. I love to eat Granny Smith and make ACV with them. I never thought to make my own pectin. I’ll be making my own now. Thank you.😊👍🏽👍🏽
I helped my grandmother make homemade pectin every year. We used barely ripe crabapples. They are very high in natural pectin. As for storage, I’m wondering if it could be dehydrated or even freeze dried and still work? I just found your channel and I love what I see so far❤️
Well done Presentation. Very Informative, and easy to follow. One question I have, Can the skin, and seeds be put into a cheese cloth, and allowed to simmer with the apples, so a skinless apple sauce can be made afterwards?
You are amazing in ways my words cannot convey. Thank you for sharing :) btw, can I use ethanol based alcohol (like a strong moonshine made from fruit) instead of isopropyl alcohol..? Rubbing alcohol grosses me out.
I had an apple tree that bore kinda blah apples, so I just made applesauce out of those and mixed it in with my blackberries to make jam. It always gelled perfectly!
Hello Deanna! I totally get it--this recipe is what I'm using exclusively for my jams and jellies. To be sure--you'll get a lovely "set" most of the time, and if you don't, the taste will still be there. On my channel you'll see that I love canning jams and jellies and this is what I use!
Any tips on amounts and how to use in recipes? I am going to try this but I’m not experienced enough to know how much to add to my jelly. Any videos on that?
Great video. I am just wondering roughly what quantity of pectin you get from what quantity of apples? I am just trying to figure out the amount of apples I need. I saw your blog saying you use 4oz of pectin for every 3lb of fruit. I make jam batches using 15lb of fruit which would need about 1lb 4oz of pectin so wondering what quantity of apples to simmer down to make that much pectin? It looks like you got three half pint jars from this batch so I guess this would be a similarly large pot of apples to what I would need?
Is it necessary to boils your jars ? If i stock it in fridge , Pectin can turn rotten quickly ?? Awesome vidéo , thank you for this very simple technique !
I would love to know if you do anything with the rest of the apple mush afterwards 😊 I'm trying this today actually for the first time. Thanks for sharing 💜
Ideally I would've started with the peels and cores AFTER using the "mush" to make applesauce. Since the apples were very tart or already too soft to eat, I didn't can them this time. Good observation!
Hello mam i am making jam for plum, beetroot and carrot where I have been using artificial 1gm pectin for 100gm jam. For 700gm should I have to increase pectin contet?
I'm making this to actually INGEST DAILY for joint problems & Arthritis pain! So would everything still be the same?? Like do I HAVE2 simmer to reduce by half??🤔🤔
Hello! Awww, thanks so much. It’s one that I picked up from Marshall’s. It’s by the brand “David Burke Gourmet Pro”-it wasn’t more than 20.00, and after 6 months with it, I’m still pleased!
Thank you for getting right to it! As a busy mom, farm girl, and care giver I appreciate not sitting through a long introduction at the beginning of an instructional video!
Apple seeds thankfully don’t have enough cyanide to harm people so it shouldn’t be a concern. However if you have pets you’ll want to keep the seeds AND PEELS away from them as there IS enough that it could potentially harm any pets
This is great! Can you tell me how to know how much liquid pectin to use in a jam recipe? Is it one entire jar per recipe, or just a few TBS? If so, do you store the jar of leftover liquid pectin in the refrigerator once opened? Thanks! Amanda
I too wondered, but found the answers on her blog, as listed in her description. "...use one 4 ounce jar of your batch for every 3 lbs of fruit or (smaller scale)..."
I've been thinking about making pectin as it's so expensive to buy here... have you ever made it using lemons? they are in season right now and sour apples aren't... thanks
Using wild apples before they turn from high pectin to high sugar in the ripening process saves a ton of money. Go for a drive and pick some apples from a tree on a back road before they are ripe. Of course you'll have to cut out some worm holes, but it's so worth not having to buy the apples.
Maybe you think it’s cheaper than buying from the shop and indeed it would be if your electric or gas is FREE. only thing i would that home made is much better than bought pectin

I'm going to try this, I love the thought of making my own pectin. 2 questions: what other fruit can be used and what did you do with the left over 🍎
Ranch - Farm, you're already there! ❤ That's so awesome your daughter is there and wanting to learn to preserve food country style!❤❤

That's how I do it just shred an apple in with the fruit and cook down.
Thank you! Great video. You answered a couple of questions I wasn't able to find elsewhere. Much appreciated!

You're awesome thank you for this vid 💖
Great info thank you! I was wondering can I use this pectin to make gummies ?

I just seen your video and subscribed. I am so glad. I was just getting ready to make Strawberry jam.
Another great share! 😊 I’ve used apples instead of the store bought stuff. I love to eat Granny Smith and make ACV with them. I never thought to make my own pectin. I’ll be making my own now. Thank you.😊👍🏽👍🏽
Hey lady! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video! Apples are versatile. I’m running low on my homemade ACV so that’s next!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl awesome sauce! I’ll be watching to see what you’re doing next.😊
Finally, a way to use the tiny pre-season apples that the squirrel-chasing cats knock off the overflowing tree! 😊 Thanks! ❤
New to your channel....thank you for this wonderful video.
Just found your channel very informative thank you 🙂form Australian
You're more than welcome, friend!
Thanks so much for this video. I'm doing it. Pectin has gone up over $5.00 a box where I live.

Did you find the answers to your questions? Or have you tried dehydrating any?
Apple pectin used to detox even to remove radiation ,look up chernobyl radiation and japan 2011 they used apple pectin.
Yes!! This!
Thanku
Yes.
This lady is amazing ❤😊
Well done Presentation. Very Informative, and easy to follow. One question I have, Can the skin, and seeds be put into a cheese cloth, and allowed to simmer with the apples, so a skinless apple sauce can be made afterwards?
You are a joy to watch.
I’m learning so much from you. 💗💗💗
I'm so happy to hear this, Robyn! Making pectin is easier than you think! The full recipe is on the blog, too!
Good video!
Thank you! This is too easy not to share (and put on your shelf)! Good to see you!

Hi Layla! What a smart idea (and great way to use what you have on hand)! Apples are excellent sources of natural pectin!
Great video 👍
You have a new subscriber
Thank you for this, I am brand new at canning and freaked out when I saw how expensive pectin is, made me second guess if jelly/jam was for me.
Hello Deanna! I totally get it--this recipe is what I'm using exclusively for my jams and jellies. To be sure--you'll get a lovely "set" most of the time, and if you don't, the taste will still be there. On my channel you'll see that I love canning jams and jellies and this is what I use!
Boiling lemon seeds does the job too!
New sub! A girl after my own heart!
With an open jar (not sealed) does it need to be refrigerated? If not what temperature should it be kept?
Curious... have you ever dehydrated this for longer shelf life?
Any tips on amounts and how to use in recipes? I am going to try this but I’m not experienced enough to know how much to add to my jelly. Any videos on that?

Could I do this with just apple peels, cores -not whole fruit? I have a huge bag left from last year. Needing
to clean out freezer.
Is it necessary to boils your jars ? If i stock it in fridge ,
Pectin can turn rotten quickly ??
Awesome vidéo , thank you for this very simple technique !

Ideally I would've started with the peels and cores AFTER using the "mush" to make applesauce. Since the apples were very tart or already too soft to eat, I didn't can them this time. Good observation!
How do you use it in a recipe that is meant for powdered pectin?
Can I make pectin from other sources like lemon white pulp
Thanks!! I’m getting into jam making.whats the ratio you would recommend per pound of apples used?
Also does this work well when using honey as a sweetener?
What about using crab apples have you tried?
Hello mam i am making jam for plum, beetroot and carrot where I have been using artificial 1gm pectin for 100gm jam. For 700gm should I have to increase pectin contet?
Great video! Question is where do you get seasonal apples at low price? Store prices are from some bad horror movie. Cheers 👍💙
I was wondering why it is a bad thing to squeeze the pulp which results in a cloudy pectin is it less effective or does it make jams/jelly’s cloudy
So when I thin my apples as I did last night, I can use them to make pectin for my jams and jellys this year?!! Sweet!
I'm making this to actually INGEST DAILY for joint problems & Arthritis pain! So would everything still be the same?? Like do I HAVE2 simmer to reduce by half??🤔🤔
Could I freeze the pectin instead of can it?
I have not made this before. Using your directions how will I know how much pectin to plums for jams
Your videos are wonderful!
Question: what's that pot you're using to cook the apples?
Hello! Awww, thanks so much. It’s one that I picked up from Marshall’s. It’s by the brand “David Burke Gourmet Pro”-it wasn’t more than 20.00, and after 6 months with it, I’m still pleased!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl thanks for the reply!
Would it be possible to extract pectin from the pips only? Do you know the science behind it?
So my neighbor has 2 huge crabapple trees. Could I use those?
hi Becoming a farm Girl I wonder is there s a way to make powder Pectin most recipes that I have have in it powder pectin
How pectin is used to make jam, how much is required for one bach?
How long does homemade pectin last?
What is the ratio when using homemade pectin?
Thank you for getting right to it! As a busy mom, farm girl, and care giver I appreciate not sitting through a long introduction at the beginning of an instructional video!
How much liquid pectin should I use for jam?
One thing I may have missed but didn't hear or see in the video or written recipe is how much to use with how much fruit?
Is there a concern that the apple seeds will release cyanide? Thanks! Great channel!
Apple seeds thankfully don’t have enough cyanide to harm people so it shouldn’t be a concern. However if you have pets you’ll want to keep the seeds AND PEELS away from them as there IS enough that it could potentially harm any pets

how much of homemade pectin will equal 1 pkg store bought? if needed 1 pkg in a recipe
how much of homemade pectin should i use in that recipe?
Using wild apples before they turn from high pectin to high sugar in the ripening process saves a ton of money. Go for a drive and pick some apples from a tree on a back road before they are ripe. Of course you'll have to cut out some worm holes, but it's so worth not having to buy the apples.
