For those of you who buy pectin, you know just how expensive it is! Well, I found this blog that my aunt Cheryl wrote with some good alternatives to using pectin. Her two suggestions were Clear Jel from Barry Farm, or Pomona Pectin. Look at her blog for links and her advice:

Another thing I've heard of is using the apple peels, core and seeds (which have natural pectin in them) instead of purchasing pectin from the store. Here is a link to a recipe with great instructions on what to do with the apples and how to make Apple Rosemary Jelly.

Mom said she made her own pectin (with apples) last year, and she was going to try using it for her jams this year. I haven't heard yet how it turned out.
