Nan, it's on my list to make jelly very soon. I have pectin by the box here so I will measure how much is in it. Six tablespoons sounds like a lot to me, but I could be wrong. I would guess it's about a quarter cup, so we'll see how far off I am.


Couple things I have learned about making jelly:
- Different recipes for different kinds of fruit. Some have a lot of natural pectin, others don't.
- Expiry date on pectin powder does matter! I have had failures due to using stale dated powder, so check the date in case this is the cause.


Actually I just found an expired box and poured out and measured it. More than 1/4 cup but less than 1/2 - probably 1/3 cup would be right, and maybe 6 tbs is about that (I can't stand measuring spoons they are all different!).
