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.
Made strawberry jam with pectin (a brand other than Certo), however, my mother who is a jam junkie, told me to make the jam without the pectin. Her reason is that jam made with this pectin product typically is not good for more than 1 year or so, where as jam made with just fruit, sugar and lemon juice last much longer.umbug. I've been making jam for over 30 years. I use pectin-usually Certo, because it's the brand most widely available here. The advantage to using pectin, in my opinion, is that you can make jam with a much shorter cooking time, which produces a product that tastes fresher.
