📝 Instructions

Note

Pectin is a natural fiber found in most plants. Fruits like apples and oranges are particularly high in pectin, with the highest concentrations in the skins, cores and seeds.

Step 1

In a saucepan, boil two pounds of tart green apples (slightly under-ripe apples work best) with four cups of water and one tablespoon of lemon juice for 30 minutes, then strain through cheesecloth

Step 2

Boil further to reduce the volume by half will result in an effective homemade liquid pectin.
