Notes
For variety, try other tender fruits, such as peaches, cherries, and berries.
I love the idea of using chia instead of pectin. That’s why I never tried making my own. Can you tell me how much chia to use?
How much ground chia seeds? I would love to try that instead of pectin. Please share. Thanks
A question for Louise regarding the ground chia seeds. The original recipe said 3 oz. of liquid pectin. How do I use the chia powder instead? Can you give me the powder/liquid breakdown to equal the liquid pectin? Really great idea by the way!
can you use the regular Blendtec canister or do you need the wildside?
Can you give the recipe please?
