I use pectin quite a bit.  Its great for helping jams to set,  coconut yoghurt to thicken,  and also for lambs with the scours.  Actually, it works for humans with the ‘scours’ too.  Remember grandma’s remedy for diarrhoea?  Stewed apples!!

All you need is about 7 large tart apples (aprox 1 1/2 kg).  I use ‘Granny Smith’ variety.

Wash but don’t peel.  Cut into small pieces, put into a pot, cores and all.

Add 4 cups water and 2 tbsp lemon juice.  Boil for about 40 mins.  Strain through a cheesecloth or jelly bag.  Boil the liquid another 20 mins.  Pour into sterilised jars and seal.

I will put a photo up when I have made my next lot.  I just used the last of mine on a lamb with scours 🙂

See, I told you it was easy.  Or did I?  Anyway,  it’s easy 🙂

Talk again soon.

Yours sincerely
