Id also like to know as well. What is a good bulk source for pectin, pickling seasonings and salt, etc. Thanks

well delairen, i have been having the same question, i found some ball pectin in a container that would make 3-4 batches and it said that use 6 tbs. per normal boxes. i found it at pamida, but i've seen it at k-mart. i haven't tried it yet, i'm slightly worried that it wouldn't work because i have always used sure-jell.

You can buy Pomona Pectin in bulk. I've only used it out of the boxes, but I liked it. It's a no-sugar pectin that uses calcium for activation, so it's great for people who want to be free to add their own kinds/amounts of sweeteners. The only problem I had is that the set on my raspberry jam was just a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny bit soft. Not enough to make a difference, but definitely not as firm as what I got using SureJell. Could have been user error, though.
