Hi Lynn, I think they’d be just fine! How wonderful that you have your own trees! I’m jealous.

Since the pectin is strained through cheesecloth, can I use them as is? I would remove any bruising etc. but the scabs seem cosmetic, not damage and I wouldn’t have to peel the pectin rich skins.

hmmm…my gut is that it won’t gel a significant amount, but it surely won’t hurt your jam or jelly. What kind of apples did you use?

My pectin didn’t “gel” so I reduced it and reduced it. It never gelled. I wonder if my pectin will not work in a recipe?

Hi Kathleen,

Good question! In fact, Granny Smiths are very high in pectin, one of the highest. If you don’t need the pectin right away, what about storing the peels, cores and seeds in your freezer until you have a pound or two and make the recipe in post…using the peels, cores, and seeds only. You can easily modify the recipe to account for what you have. Does that make sense?

I read somewhere that the apple skins contain a good amount of pectin. I make strawberry jam and usually add in whole apples, but I think I would prefer to use just the apple stock, my question is would there be enough pectin in, lets say, the peelings of 6 granny smiths? Sorry if question is too long winded, thank you so much. Love your site.
