Pomona’s Universal Pectin is a unique pectin in the marketplace because it jells well with low amounts of any sweetener. It is different from other pectin because its jelling power is activated by calcium (included with the Pomona’s), not by sugar content. It also is different because it contains no sugar or preservatives — it is 100-percent citrus pectin — and because it allows jam makers to double or triple batches as well as to make small batches.
