Usually jams have a lot of sugar so they set better, but this one set up just fine.<br /><br />Veggie PAK, yes it gels very well. Gelling is affected by many things. pH (lower acid things are better), pectin content, and sugar content. I'm sure the added lemon juice in the recipe helps it gel. Also the adding the peach skin probably helps. Skins tend to be higher in pectin content. Both peaches and blueberries aren't fruits with really high pectin content (though they do have a reasonable amount). So I'm guessing if you got rid of the lemon juice and the skin it wouldn't gel nearly as well.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62054166489448242802011-07-30T09:37:44.196-04:002011-07-30T09:37:44.196-04:00If it's pectin free, does it jell?
