"Pomona's Universal Pectin" is a sugar-free, low-methoxyl citrus pectin that is activated by calcium. Since it does not require sugar to jell, jams and jellies can be made with less, little, or no sugar. Some other possible sweeteners are honey, fructose, sucanat, concentrated fruit sweetener, maple syrup, agave nectar, frozen juice concentrate, stevia, xylitol, Splenda and other artificial sweeteners.
Each 1 oz. box of "Pomona's Pectin" contains a packet of pectin, a packet of calcium powder and a sheet of newly revised directions and recipes. A JAMLINE telephone number is included in case there are any questions.
* Concentrated and economical -- each box makes two to four recipes.
* Time saving -- recipes can be doubled and tripled.
* Shelf Life -- keeps indefinitely.

Hi ! I am Connie Sumberg, Owner of Workstead Industries. Jam and jelly season is here. Fresh, local fruits are becoming available all across the country.Don't miss out. Jam today or freeze the fruit and jam when you can ! I don't know which Health Food Stores in your area have the pectin in stock because I sell to the Distributors not to the stores directly. Remember Pomona Pectin has a long shelf-life. It lasts for a number of years. Please do not store it in intense heat in order to get the maximum shelf-life. Buy it in 2008 and don't worry if you're still using it in 2009 and beyond. SPLENDA can be used in place of sugar in any of our recipes.

WHAT DOES POMONA'S PECTIN DO THAT ORDINARY FRUIT PECTIN DOESN'T?
Pomona's Universal Pectin gels regardless of the sugar concentration in the jam or jelly requiring only some calcium to set firmly. *
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS?
Now jam and jelly makers can easily and successfully make low and no sugar fruit spreads that are thick, healthful and delicious. Pomona's Pectin firmly gels fruit products sweetened with any amount of white or less processed sugar, honey, fructose, maple syrup, fruit juice concentrate, agave nectar, stevia, xylitol or artificial sweetener. And for those customers with special health needs, it also works with unsweetened fruit or juice.
Pomona's Pectin can be used in a number of applications: cooked jam and jelly, freezer jam, aspic, jello, sorbet, yogurt, jelled pie, jelled milk pudding, and jelled fruit candy. It gels fresh, frozen or canned fruit and juice.
Many jam and jelly makers have been frustrated by the pectins generally available. These pectins do not work without a 55% or higher sugar concentration in the jam or jelly and they contain sugar.
Some large manufacturers have introduced pectin products that require less sugar to gel but they contain undesirable additives. All powdered pectins available today, except Pomona's Pectin, have sugar as one of the ingredients and liquid pectins have preservatives. People today are concerned about product purity. Pomona's Universal Pectin is 100% pure citrus pectin powder.
Stocking Pomona's Pectin will delight your jam-making customers and encourage others to start making their own.
IS IT ECONOMICAL TO USE?
Yes! Because Pomona's Pectin does not have the sugar normally added by manufacturers for the purpose of gel strength standardization (the strength is standardized by blending pectin with pectin); it is more concentrated. A 1 oz. box will make 2-4 recipes with 4-6 cups fruit per recipe. A box of ordinary pectin will gel only 3-5 cups of fruit with about an equal amount of sugar. Therefore, a box of Pomona's gels 2-4 times as much fruit and twice as much finished product. That's both economy and healthful eating!
HOW WILL POMONA'S UNIVERSAL PECTIN HELP YOUR SALES?
On both the wholesale and retail levels it is a product that boosts sagging summer sales. It sells primarily from May-September peaking in June, July and August. Depending on your location, it can start sooner and/or continue longer. It is a versatile, one of a kind product that is pure and keeps indefinitely.
Sell to all those jam and jelly makers who are ready to buy if they can find it.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF POMONA'S UNIVERSAL PECTIN AND HOW IS IT MANUFACTURED?
Pomona's Universal Pectin is MADE IN DENMARK. It is extracted from the peel and pulp of lemon, lime and orange after the juice and oil have been pressed out.
The pectin is extracted using hot, acidified water and then precipitated out of solution with alcohol. Some amide groups are then introduced into the pectin molecule during the process of de-esterification (a process by which the pectin is changed from high-methoxyl to low-methoxyl). High-methoxyl pectin requires a sugar concentration above 55% to gel whereas low-methoxyl pectin gels in the presence of calcium ions.
This calcium sensitive, amidated, low-methoxyl pectin is packaged under the name Pomona's Universal Pectin. Each l oz. box includes thorough instructions and easy to follow recipes. Although low-methoxyl (LM) pectin has been known to the food industry for some time, Pomona's Universal Brand finally put it on the retail shelves. **
