Jamsetta takes the guesswork out of setting jam. This 10kg bulk pack is made for commercial kitchens, cafés, market stallholders and anyone who makes jam by the batch. A blend of castor sugar, pectin and citric acid, it helps jams and jellies set reliably with less cooking time, so the fruit keeps more of its colour, flavour and texture.
It’s especially useful with fruits that are naturally low in pectin, like strawberries, which can be hard to set on their own. At around 50g per 1.5kg of raw fruit, one 10kg pack sets roughly 300kg of fruit. That’s the equivalent of 200 x 50g sachets in a single pack, for a fraction of the per-sachet cost. Kept unopened in a cool, dry place, it stays potent for several years.
- Reduces cooking time, for better colour, flavour and set

- Bulk 10kg pack sets around 300kg of raw fruit, the equivalent of 200 x 50g sachets

How to use: add about 50g of Jamsetta per 1.5kg of raw fruit. The amount will vary with the fruit you use, and low-pectin fruits may need a little extra.
- If your jam hasn’t set: return it to the pan, stir in more Jamsetta, bring it back to the boil and boil for 5 to 10 minutes before testing again.
- If it has set too firm: stir in a little boiling water.
Ingredients: castor sugar, pectin, citric acid.
