Re: make your own pectin
Good idea if you have plenty of apples for free - but the cost would be horrendous if you (like me) had to buy your Bramleys!

I have a muslin bag of plum stones that I keep in the freezer. I just take a handful out every time I need them and drop them into whatever I need them for (rhubarb and ginger jam last week - yum!).
