Recipe for homemade pectin
You need 1 kg of organic apples and 2,5 l of water. Wash the apples, remove the stems and cut the fruit into small pieces.
Pour 2.5 ml of water in a pot and put it on the stove on high heat because pectin has the shortest time to achieve a high temperature, otherwise it will fall apart. Boil the water and the apples in a pot. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. Then continue cooking, stirring until the mixture thickens to half. Spoon the drain through a colander and immediately save the pectin mixture into sterilized jars.
