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?
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!
How much ground chia seeds? I would love to try that instead of pectin. Please share. Thanks
Can you give the recipe please?
can you use the regular Blendtec canister or do you need the wildside?
