Todayβs answerβ¦Berry jam! π
Often jam is made with pectin, a thickening substance made from fruit, specifically coming from its cell walls. You can make your own from apple peels and citrus membranes, but USUALLY one would buy it powdered.πΒ
Because we are in this rabbit hole, lets finish it; There are two types of pectin: high methoxyl and low methoxy. High methoxyl needs acid and sugar to form a gel, so if you make a jam with HMP, it will be higher in sugar. Low methoxyl is good for low sugar recipes, and uses calcium instead of sugar to form its gel. There are more pectin details, but letβs stop while we can still get out of the rabbit hole!
Anyway, if you donβt mind a less gel-like jam, then making it without pectin does the trick just fine πππ©βπ³
