Pectin

Naturally occurring in fruits, pectin is used primarily for promoting gel structures in jams. We use two types at Sweet Studio; medium-set citrus pectin and firmer-set pectin NH. Pectin produces a low-viscosity gel but will set if used correctly and the pH of the solution is not too low. Pectin is suitable for gluten-intolerant people and vegans, and is available from health food stores, specialist food ingredient stores and online.
