Recipes. Build An Ark: Making Your Own Pectin! Harvest: Making Your Own Pectin! Wendy Mae I have discovered there is a way to make my own homemade pectin that can be used in all kinds of preserves. Basically, any kind of apple, be it Crab Apple, Granny Smith, or Macintosh, can be used as they are naturally high in pectin. In this case, I have some huge crab apple trees around the gun shop that I used to make my pectin with.
Apples contain a more concentrated amount of pectin when they are under-ripe rather than ripe. This means that I will have to pick the fruit about two weeks before it's harvest ready, when the apples are still green and tart. I have picked about 18 gallons of crab apples for my pectin and I am hoping to get about 7-8 quarts of pectin out of it when I am finished. To start I have to wash and pick through the crab apples to remove badly damaged or worm eaten apples. Over medium to low heat I cook down the crab apples, stirring occasionally, until they have broken their skins and are mushy. Oatmeal Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe.
