Ball 71065 4.7 Oz Pectin Flex Batch Mix

I used to use the Ball gel pectin but found this. I actually like it better. With the gel you add to the cooked jam at the last of the cooking time. This product you add to the jam in the beginning and it's done. I find I have better success with my jam using the powdered versus the gel.

We use Ball Pectin Flex Batch in our jam and jelly making, and are always happy with the results. I prefer the flex batch packaging so I can measure out exactly what we need, versus dealing with the packets you can more easily find locally. We ordered early this year and are really glad we did, since everyone seemed to be getting into canning during the 2020 quarantine.

Since Covid started and more people have been gardening and canning, this product has been difficult to find in my area. This is just what I needed.

I made some good grape jelly using this pectin. It was easy to use and the jelly turned out grape, I mean great!

The instructions called for a one minute boil after putting in the pectin. Another site said four minutes. I boiled four minutes and that was perfect. Would not have set up properly if only boiled for one minute

I tried the box of pectin per the recipe but I guess through the years the boxes don’t have as much in them. I can use 6 Tbl of this pectin and the jelly comes out perfect every time.

I made jelly with Surejel and this pectin. I prefer the pectin.

I have not used this particular pectin yet. But, it's a product I use regularly and find it works well.
