The trusted Fowlers setting agent for jam making at volume.
Fowlers Vacola Jamsetta helps jam set without excessive boiling, making it easier to achieve a consistent result while keeping a brighter colour. The 10kg pack is built for high-volume and commercial production, taking the guesswork out of large batches and fruit that can be harder to set.
As a general guide, 50g of Jamsetta suits 1.5kg of raw fruit, so a 10kg pack treats roughly 300kg of fruit. Pectin levels vary by fruit type, and some fruits, particularly strawberries and tropical fruits, are naturally low in pectin and may need additional Jamsetta to achieve a good set. If jam has not set, return it to the pan, stir through more Jamsetta, bring back to the boil, and boil for a further 5 to 10 minutes before retesting.
Jamsetta contains castor sugar, pectin, and citric acid, and remains potent for several years if stored unopened in a cool, dry place.
