| I'm in the process of making some homemade pectin with all the excess apples that I have this year. I know it might not be as consistent, but I'm only giving this a try. This year I went thru the equivalent of 100 boxes of powdered pectin and 6 boxes of liquid. Has anyone does this? My pectin/juice is reddish, I made it from yellow with red tinged and a few red apple, skins and all. Would that make the pectin reddish color. It looks nice, just not what the commercial liquid looks like. |

| Yes, it will be pink, don't worry, it won't tint the jelly. |

| Thanks, we are bored without all the jams, jellies and pickles already done. Now also starting back to sewing costumes for a 'harvest feast' that our area has every year. Finding period correct patterns are a pain, plus period correct materials. 1710-1790s colonial. Everything from underclothes (not much/none) to outer coats. |

| Good luck - we've got Tavern Night at our local Historical Society coming up again 11/2 - they asked me to donate some jams/jellies. Maybe only 3-4 this year. It's the 3rd year I've done it and even though I've set out business cards and had an interview in the local paper last year, I haven't gotten any business from it. |

| I don't do any of that, but I do have a facebook page now. Not much, just basically what I'm doing and what I would have at market each week. It has helped with the market side. Also have found many friends that I lost along the way. |
