    • It’s fine my mom used to make it this way my entire childhood. The key is thawing it in the refrigerator ahead of time. Although it doesn’t look quite as pretty as canned it tastes fabulous! The flavor is so amazing! Thanks Robin!!

      • I’ll give it a try. I don’t can a lot of stuff,mainly because I don’t have a good storage location for canned goods.

      • Strawberry jam is another really good one. When you buy the pectin (I used CERTO) it will tell you how to make just about any fruit jam. I like this because it only makes 5 cups and doesn’t take up that much room.

  11. oh dear, I thought this would work for me until I saw the ingredients. 🙁 I have a wheat allergy but I can usual modify the recipie but I’m also allergic to citrus. It’s almost impossible to find a substitute for citrus. 🙁
