I've only made berry and one-fruit jams so far, but they've all turned out wonderfully.
One box is enough for 16 cups of mashed fruit plus sweetener, I got a total of 18 half-pint jars of jam from those batches combined--all from one box of pectin, and I only added a cup and a half of honey to each 8 cup batch of fruitMaschil said:how much pectin to you use for per canning event...? and how much oz do you get from that?moolie said:I've taken to making all of my jams with fruit, local honey, and Pomona's Universal Pectin --I pretty much use the recipes in the package, they also have recipes on their website

It only takes 2 tsps per 4 cups of fruit and WAY less sugar than regular pectin, again the entire box makes about 18 cups of jam in total. Totally worth it to me because regular pectin is about the same price for only ONE batch of jam (3-4 cups of fruit) and needs 4-7 cups of sugar to gel, which makes the entire batch of jam cost more plus we don't need all that extra sugar in our life. But YMMV, and if it's $12/box it probably isn't worth it to you.
Canning pears is simple--peel, quarter, core, pop into jars with 1/3 cup sugar, fill rest of jar with boiling water, process in boiling water canner for 20 minutes. Lovely poached for dessert in the cold of winter
