Would it work? I do not have any pectin currently, but have plenty of arrowroot powder. I was wondering if I could use arrowroot powder instead of pectin in making my raspberry freezer jam.

It had a "wallpaper paste" undertaste to it. Have you ever noticed this? Otherwise, it works, but this slight taste really detracts from the peach flavor. Perhaps with more aggressive tastes such as blackberries, it would not be so noticable. Peaches have such a delicate taste. Has anyone else noticed this?

Rapadura only looks more like brown sugar but it is delicious in flavor. It imparts more flavor than any other sweetener and that is why I prefer it. Not at all!

Is this a 1oz box, or the 1/2 lb box? That might make a difference in how much I buy! ;-) My sis and I went blackberry picking this evening when it cooled off (we're just north of you in Chehalis, experiencing the same heat wave I'm sure!) and we're excited to start making jam.

I usually make 4 or 5 batches a year, because everybody asks for a jar! (the recipe for my lime-pulp is at http://www.larksongknits.com/2009/07/20/lime-marmalade-recipe/) My second favorite is apricot (which i doubly like because it needs no added pectin and apricot jam is SO good between the layers of spice cake). My girls like blackberry best, which is another good no-pectin-needed jam. We go gleaning for blackberries this weekend at the park - so yummy and worth the thorns!
