I used this product and it works very well. But I wondered what others thought? It is a calcium based gelling agent. It works good, but I wonder if it changes taste, and the gel is rather smooth, so texture can be slightly different.
What's great about it is you don't need to use much sugar at all. Most recipes call for way to much to make product gel. This product doesn't need sugar to gel. It might not be safe for long term storage, but for me, that doesn't matter.
Anyway just curious of what others thought of this product.
I think it would be a good option for the trouble jams that tend not to gel, this stuff will gel water! So never a concern there. Also sometimes you have to boil a long time to get to a certain temp. This requires little boiling time, so fruit nutrients are not cooked away. That certainly is a plus. It is expensive but one package can be used for 3-4 four cup recipes.
