Has anyone made a jam recipe that calls for liquid pectin and used the chill over powder instead? I have substituted chill over powder for all my jam recipes, but I would like to try a new recipe and it calls for liquid pectin. The article goes on to say that powder and liquid pectin are not interchangeable. So I am cautious to just use two packets of chill over in the place of the two liquid pectin. It calls for 3 - 12 sweet cherry, and 2 - 12 ounce raspberry so it has a lot of fruit, 9 cup sugar and two liquid juices. Just to give you an idea of the amount. when finished it will yield 40 half pints per batch.
thank you

Thank you, I am waiting on my order of chill over to arrive and have every thing ready to go for this jam recipe. I will give it a try and let you know how it turns out. I will start with the 8 tsp, and go from there. Again thank you.

Hi Danyel,
Generally, you use 2 packets (2 t) of ChillOver powder for every 4 cups of jam mixture. Since the recipe you want to try yields 40 half pints (in other words, 40 cups), that would be 10 packets of ChillOver powder per batch. I would definitely recommend measuring the volume of the mixture before you add the ChillOver powder, and adjust the amount to match the volume of your batch. Since the water content of fruits can be so variable, I also like to err on the side of caution, and add a little less ChillOver powder than I think I need (for your recipe, I might start with 8 packets). Then I spoon a tablespoon or so onto a plate and refrigerate it for a few minutes. Once it's set, if it's just right, then I will continue with the canning process. If it's too soft, I'll add the rest of the ChillOver powder and boil the whole mixture for another 3 minutes, spoon a little out and test the set again.
