Pectin Powder

What is Pectin Powder?

Our high ester Pectin is a premium-grade powder extracted from selected high-quality fruit. It is ideal for making excellent tasting jams, marmalades, chutneys and fruit jellies (Pâté de fruit). Pectin jellies are also heat resistant so they can be served on hot dishes. Specially developed for jams and marmalades, it will provide a high gel strength, excellent flavour release and a slow setting.
