Hello,

 

I just started to can for the first time 2 weeks ago. Some recipes state to use different fruit juices. I have seen where people juice their own fruit for jams.

Can I use store bought pasteurized juice like apple, pineapple, OJ, etc. to use in jam recipes?

 

Thanks!!

Christa

Chriusta, it is always wonderful when you can get fresh fruit to juice.  Most times I am able to do that.  With the exception of grape juice.  I love Concord grapes, but never have access to enough of them.  I have made grape jelly many times with bottled grape juice.  It comes out wonderful and it does save a lot of work.  I don't know about other juices you mentioned.  It is best when you can have your own fruit or fruit is given to you, then it is free except for the sugar, etc.  In canning I don't count the labor, just know that when winter comes it is all worth the effort.

A year or two ago I bought some rasberry juice concentrate on line. It gets diluted 7:1 for normal juice content. I bought nearly ripe apples and used them to make juice/pectin to use for diluting the concentrated rasberry juice. What I really made was rasberry/apple jelly and from a 20 dollar pint of concentrate i was able to make about 24 half pints of jelly.

If you search for juice concentrates you can find several suppliers and the prices are wildly variable so shop carefully. All of the juice has to meet USDA standards for interstate sales.
