Method

  1. Mix the pectin with about 100 g of the sugar.
  2. Mix about 60 g sugar with the sodium citrate and calcium citrate. Add this to about 40 g of hot water and mix well.
  3. Add the fruit to the cooker, and the remaining water and then slowly add the pectin / sugar blend. Bring to the boil while stirring to ensure the pectin is completely hydrated and dissolved.
  4. Add the remaining sugar and glucose syrup, and bring back to the boil.
  5. Add the sodium citrate / calcium citrate solution and stir thoroughly.
  6. Adjust the pH with Citric acid, and fill.

The Fruit filling may be filled at higher temperatures (e.g. 80°C) into suitable containers or stirred while cooling in the main cooking vessel and filled at a lower temperature, giving some loss in heat stability and a more pasty texture. For best heat stability the fruit filling should not be transported or used for at least 24 hours.
