Sorry, I was so excited to talk about butter I forgot the other question! ;)

I tried it with SureJell and didn’t like the results as well. I didn’t try Ball. If you do, please let me know how it goes!

Thanks, Zoë

I use butter in dishes (savory & sweet) as much as possible. If I make pasta, I use 3/4 olive oil & 1/4 butter !! What about other pectins ( SureJell, Ball etc.) ?

Well, I admit I add butter to anything I can! ;) It makes the texture more luscious!

Cheers, Zoë

That is news to me. I have been looking for pate de fruits recipe (MADE FROM FRESH FRUITS) instead of commercial purees – over-priced – and THESE RECIPES FIT THE BILL & pocket perfectly. THANKS. But could you share why you added butter? If I runt out of CERTO, can I use SureJell?

I would cook it down and make preserves out of the strawberries. It will probably not set up as tight as a jam, but it will be a lovely spread for toast or over ice cream. You may need to add more sugar and perhaps some lemon juice.

Let me know how it goes! Thanks, Zoë

I didn’t let it boil after I added the liquid pectin, but 12 hours later, it still hasn’t set. I cannot bring myself to throw away 2 1/2 pints of expensive organic strawberries and all that sugar. How can I salvage this and make it edible?

The only pectin I can find is powdered. Could you please explain the ration of powder, I assume, to water in order to try this recipe?
TIA,
Adina.

This happened to me once when I tried cooking the mixture after the pectin was added to the pot. It broke down the pectin and it never set up. Is it possible that the pectin got cooked after you added it? It sounds like you used the right amount of the Certo. Is the metal a non reactive pan? In other words does the acid in the fruit seem to be discoloring the pan? If so, this could also be messing with the setting of the jellies?

Thanks, Zoë

After 3 hours, still only partially set. One box of Certo contains two pouches, and I assumed those were the two pouches called for in the recipe–yes? Also, it is critical to use a glass baking dish rather than a 9-inch square metal baking pan?
