Some fruit does not have much natural pectin and will need more to set

Do peaches fall under that category?

Do peaches fall under that category?

It depends on their ripeness and type of fruit:

Pectin content varies according to the type of fruit and its ripeness. Some fruits, such as apples, blackberries, grapes, and quince, are rich in natural pectin and therefore have an abundance of setting power.

Fruits low in pectin are often combined with those high in pectin. Orange (high pectin) and rhubarb jam (low pectin) for instance, blends two fruits with quite different pectin contents. Or commercially packaged pectin can be added to fruits low in natural pectin, like apricots, rhubarb, and strawberries.

Note that just-ripe fruit contains the highest pectin levels. When fruit ripens further, its pectin content decreases as pectin turns to pectic acid.

Hi Jared! I have made tons of jam over the years and freezer jam generally has a softer set. Fruit does vary in pectin content but in general the riper it is the less it has. It tastes so good but I stopped making it because it was too runny to use in a sandwich taken to work. It is fine to use just for home use though if kept cold. Or drizzled over ice cream or pound cake etc.
I always enjoy your culinary adventures! Keep on cookin’!

When DD2 got to college her roommate had brought a wireless router. Told her the password was "bagel". DD2 tried it a couple of times, didn't work. Turned out the roomie thought is was spelled "bagle"

When I pull out my Sourdough let it warm up room temp pull off 1 cup then feed it

I pull it out, feed it and wait for it to get foamy. Is that wrong or does either method work OK?

I so enjoy reading this thread. I haven't been able to bring myself to cook or bake for the last week. Cooking for one, just doesn't make sense.

What do you want, we'll make it and send it to you!

Yep. We've made triple berry jam. Raspberry, blackberry and gooseberry. The gooseberry has enough pectin that you don't need to add any.

Making a double batch of @N F C burger buns. Rising FAST in this heat and humidity. Probably time to go shape them. Double batch because DD1 and her BF are supposed to show up end of next week. Can't bake with gluten flour while she is here.

Thanks for the reminder on sourdough! I need to take my jar out of the fridge

Thanks for the burger bun reminder! It's why I signed in! Got lost following other threads, lol.
