    I tried to make pectin with pears today. Cooked for hours, strained and cooked more. My liquid reduced by 3/4 but still no pectin. I added lemon juice and 1 apple and cooked more but still no luck. I am going to buy some granny smith and see if this will work. At least with the apples I can make a pie and hopefully have some pectin. Thanks and I enjoyed reading here.

      Clair,

      I’ve been hearing from others that pears aren’t working out well for pectin. Apparently they are a low source of natural fruit pectin. I’m sorry! I know how it is to cook and cook and cook something. And to have loads of fruit hanging around that needs to be used. Margot (The Damsel)
