Today, we talk about what it takes to get your jams and jellies to set. * Pectin – what it is. * The concept of “a set” and what it means. * Best method of testing for set. * Pectin’s role – to pectin, or not to pectin. * Making your own pectin. Made a lot of jam since we last got together – * Strawberry vanilla * Strawberry japaleno * Cherry * Chery almond * Blueberry, and, * A raspberry / blueberry combo. Also made my incredible blueberry muffins. It’s a special treat that I love to make when the berries are freshest.  Of course I have a little of John’s touch, a little sum-sum, to make them really great. Note:  You’re not hearing things.  In the audio, I called this episode #43 by mistake. It really is supposed to be episode #42. By the time I discovered the mistake, it was too late as the show had posted.  -john
