Can You use this product for canning jams and jellies, or is it for freezer jam only?

I believe you can only use this pectin for tradition boil methods of jam. I don't see anything for freezer jams.

The instructions say to put the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 min. Be sure they are sealed. It says they last about 3 weeks once opened. I would think they would last much longer if they are refrigerated. My freezer jams too. I do cook the fruit to make it the consistency of jam, but mine last a long time in the frig. It works great!

Hi The instructions are for regular jams and jellies. I used it for the kind of jam that you put in a water bath. Good luck!

I used this to make regular jams, but this pectin is made for low sugar jams. I liked the product very much, but now I do only freezer jams.

Yes! I've canned jam with it the past two years! I love it and the fact that I use only 1/2 cup honey per batch and it's still great!

I have used the Jam function I had some freeze dried fruit. reconstituted the freeze dried cherries and strawberries dumped them added water sugar and pectin. It works fine. You can run the cycle again if it's too liquid.

You are able to use the burners as regular burners, so I would say it would work for canning

The only jars safe to use for canning are those specifically made for that. This is a decorative jar only.

Yes, it is. I bought it just for the purpose of making blackberry jam. I used frozen blackberries, after I thawed them, I slightly cook them, so they became softer. After that, I ran them through strainer, it was much easier(I read that recommendation, and it worked). My friends love the jam and asking for more. Great product! I'm extremely happy!

This machine is designed for jams and jellies. Therefore that is all you can do with it. However, if you have ever canned jams and jellies you will know that it is a hit/miss with the right consistency. That is what makes this item hot. It makes perfect jam/jelly every time. I bought 2 because I tend to make bigger batches than this machine will do.

It can be used for canning, but timing is the main issue. Stop the item and let it cool itself after the time is allowed for cooking.

I haven't used it for jams, I have only used it for Apple pie filling, I'm sure you can look it up online, simply canning is a good website

This depends on how you normally prepare you freezer jam.If you do it the traditional way, by preparing your jam on the stove and then simply freezing instead of canning, this can be used for freezer jam.If you're used to using some of the newer "no cook" gelling agents marketed just for freezer and refrigerator jam, this pectin won't work without changing your process. Traditional pectin requires cooking to develop its gelling capabilities.

I just checked the label and it says it is for "jam". I don't think it would work for something clear like jelly.

I wouldn't buy this book just for freezer jams. I would get a book specifically for jams and jellies or go online (allrecipes.com is my favorite) to find the recipe you would most prefer.

To start I am No expert. I've used this pectin across the board as a thickening agent in many odd recipes and projects. I don't see why freezer jam would be an issue along as the prep and proper absorption is followed.

Sure Jell is a very good choice if you are going to can jams and jellies. Clear jel will work but you have to have a perfect measure for jams and jellies. I have never used clear jel but have read where it is like corn starch and is used for thickening soups, gravies, also for baking. If you are going to can jams and jellies, Sure jell is in small packages and is already measured out for perfect batches of jams and jellies.

The jar is air tight but does NOT have a rubber ring of any kind. I'm not sure this would work for canning. Try contacting the company with your question. Good luck. :)

Absolutely. This is the best product i have found for thickening about everything. Their website has instructions for both Freezer Jelly and refrigerator jelly. Combine crushed fruit, sugar and lemon juice in medium bowl. Gradually add Ultra Gel®, stirring constantly. Let stand five minutes to thicken and stir until smooth. Package, label, date and freeze for up to one year.

This is the pectic used for freezer jam. Using a good recipe just mix and freeze in plastic "Ball Jars". No cooking.

No - according to the instruction book, you can only do high-acid canning, such as tomatoes or pickles, and also jelly or jam.This is the same as the type of canning you can do with a hot water bath in an open pot on the stove. The book is very clear that you cannot use this for canning anything else - no vegetables or meats! The book is also very clear that you should ONLY use the 26 recipes included in the book and to not use your own recipes. Very, very limiting!
