All Natural Dutch Jell Instructions......
Rules for successful jelly and jam making
1. Always choose fruit that is ripe, not mushy.
2. During wet growing seasons or with high moisture fruits, the Dutch Jell must be increased.
3. Carefully wash, pare and pit all fruit; removing any bad spots or spoiling fruit.
4. Add 1/2 teaspoon of butter/margarine or oil to the recipe to reduce the foaming.
5. One box of commercial pectin equals 1/3 cup of Dutch Jell.
6. Chop fruit, do not puree it.
7. Do not reduce the sugar quantities unless you are using Dutch Jell Lite.
8. For best results, use new lids on your jars.
9. For best results, process the jarred jams in a boiling water bath, according to USDA recommendations.
10. In freezer jam recipes, always have fruit and juices at room temperature.
