HOW TO MAKE PECTIN RECIPES

Gradually add pectin mixture to boiling sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. , Remove from the heat. Stir in orange oil and food coloring. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature for 3 hours or until set. , Sprinkle waxed paper with sugar; invert pan onto sugar.
