CERTO INFORMATION
CERTO Liquid, CERTO Crystals and CERTO Light are natural pectin products, carefully extracted from citrus fruit. Just follow the instructions and you can count on CERTO* to simplify jam, jelly and marmalade making every time – while preserving the natural taste of fresh fruit!
Helpful Hints:
• Always use ripe fruit to give the best flavour. Fruit should be free of blemishes and not over-ripe.
• There is no need to sterilize containers for no-cook jams. Simply wash containers in hot soapy water then rinse • Use correct measures. Use liquid measures for fruit and dry measures for sugar. Always use CERTO measurements for best results; deviations may cause poor results.
• Use a potato masher to crush berries a small amount at a time.
• Do not reduce sugar. It is critical for a good set.
• Frozen berries can be used if they have been frozen without sugar. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator.
• For additional CERTO Jam and Jelly recipes, look inside every package of CERTO Fruit Pectin product for recipe inserts. Questions? If you are in a jam or would like more recipes call the jam making experts at the CERTO hotline 1-800-268-6038 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST Monday to Saturday during June, July and August.
**NOTE: Heeman Strawberry Farm DOES NOT SELL CERTO. We recognize that many people still use CERTO to make their jam, however we perfer Club House's Garden Fare. The mix uses 55% less sugar, is a no-cook and, in our opinion, produces a better taste. Click here for the Garden Fare recipe.**
