1. 1

   No great secrets here - I use the basic recipe from the sure-Jel lite box as a guide. I do fiddle with the amounts by adjusting the sugar to taste and then adding the pectin until I get a good gel - here is how to test it. Alcohol Test. Add 1 teaspoon jam to 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol. Stir slightly to mix. When the pectin content is right it will form a solid jelly-like mass when picked up by a fork. Low pectin content will form small particles of jelly-like material.

2. 2

   NOTE: Rubbing alcohol is poisonous. Do not taste the tested juice. Wash all utensils used in this test thoroughly.
