Olemorris Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm making jam and have just one small sachet of Tate n Lyles powdered pectin left from last year. It's perfect for what I want but Waitrose have stopped selling it this year, Tesco don't stock it (only the bottled juice version with all sorts of other stuff in as well - which is not what I want), Netto's almost empty (closing down), and then I gave up trawling around. I need more of this stuff - anyone got any ideas where I could buy it? Would be very grateful - a jar of blackcurrant jam grateful in fact.

cgksheff Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Have you looked at just using "Jam Sugar" with the pectin already in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JtotheC Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I used to make Jam and I always used Jam sugar - you can get it in abundance from any major supermarket, just check the back of a packet and it will tell you what type you need depending on what jam you make.

Olemorris Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks guys for your advice about jam sugar. Unfortunately the fruit is already mixed up with the right amount of sugar - I just went to my cupboard for the pectin and found I didn't have enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargal Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I looked for this last week. T&L's website says Co-op, Morrison and Tesco sell it, but I couldn't find it in any of our local ones. I ended up using jam sugar, as they didn't even have Certo. Otherwise, make your own pectin with lemons/apples. There's a recipe on the River Cottage website I think.

gluedtopc Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I used to make my own wine, and got pectin from a homebrew shop. There arnt many such shops around now, but you also try Boots or any large chemists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas99 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 try Lakeland and Meadowhall they do lots of preserve makung stuff including pectin, but it may be the bottled stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargal Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 A quick glance on MSK's website gives a price of £9.99 for 200g, with free P&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
