I hope you do try the home made pectin. I love marmalades, and am hoping to experiment with them this summer. I'll be sure to post about them when I do. Thanks for the comment, Keith.

About 100lbs or so. Getting the set right is hard as each year the oranges vary. Your home made pectin might help enormously and also cut costs. Will give it a try.

I'm actually surprised at the potential cost savings. I really would have thought commercial pectins were cheaper. The fact that you can use apples that might otherwise go to waste is also good to know. It's another way to make the best use of our local resources. I love that you are making your own pectin!
