ISBN: 9798193501015 - the set point: a beginner's system to master pectin, test for a real set without guesswork, and preserve fruit that doesn't turn out runny or rock hard: 10 (fermentation & preserving guides) (4 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - My first batch of strawberry jam sat in the refrigerator for two weeks before I admitted it was never going to set. A recipe that promised 'no pectin needed' gave me a jar of strawberry syrup. My second attempt overcorrected: a full box of pectin, and a jar so firm it stood up like a dome when I tipped a spoonful onto a plate. Both batches used real fruit, real sugar, and a real recipe. Neither taught me anything, because neither came with an explanation, just a result. Understanding pectin, the substance actually responsible for a jam's set, is what finally turned failed batches into a system I could diagnose and trust. Most jam and jelly resources are recipe collections: hundreds of specific combinations with no explanation of why they work, so a new fruit or a sugar reduction becomes its own leap of faith. This book teaches the system underneath: what pectin actually is, why sugar does more than sweeten, and how to test for a real set instead of guessing. Inside, you'll find: - The real differences between jam, jelly, marmalade, preserves, and fruit butter, and how to choose- Two complete first-batch walkthroughs: a classic high-sugar jam and a low-sugar pectin batch- A reliable set-testing system: the plate test, the thermometer test, and how to read both correctly- A full troubleshooting chapter organized by symptom: runny, rubbery, cloudy, crystallized, weeping- A dedicated water bath canning chapter for genuine shelf stability- A complete fruit and pectin reference guide, from strawberry to quince>You do not need a garden, a chemistry background, or years of trial and error to start. You need fruit, sugar, pectin, and this book's system. This is the tenth title in the Fermentation & Preserving Guides series, built for anyone who has ever opened a jar of jam that never set.…
