Wikipedia suggests that âSocial Justiceâ originated as a religious term to acknowledge the collective nature of humanity, and our personal commitment to helping other humans, but here are some of the common definitions:
Pectin for Making Homemade Jam. Pectin is a naturally occurring substance (a polyscaccaride) found in berries, apples and other fruit. When heated together with sugar, it causes a thickening that is characteristic of jams and jellies. Your grandmother probably didn't use pectin.
In solution, pectin has the ability to form a mesh that traps liquid, sets as it cools, and, in the case of jam, cradles suspended pieces of fruit. Pectin needs partners, namely acid and sugar, to do the job of gelling properly. Acid helps extract pectin from fruit during gentle simmering and helps the gelling process, which will not take place unless the mixture is fairly acidic.
