In a jam. Well, jelly.

So, to make jelly, you either need to use a high pectin fruit, like apples, quince and pears, or you need to add commercially extracted pectin. I also found a recipe to extract your own, but since I don't have the necessary ingredients on hand, I won't be doing that. For whatever reason, pectin can be purchased in either powdered or liquid form

Perhaps you need to vary the amounts of liquid otherwise in the recipe depending on whether you have liquid or powdered pectin?

It doesn't appear so. It seems to be that liquid pectin has already been activated by heat, and doesn't need to be cooked, whereas powdered needs to be cooked, so it's added earlier in the process. My jelly set up beautifully, so I apparently did SOMETHING right.

But it's delicious either way, I'm sure!
