Question....I've been making some guava jam recently, and in your recipes, it states to pour into sterilized jars and cap. Do you then process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes? That's what the recipe for guava jam I found suggested.
Also, my second batch didn't set up that well....I'm not using pectin, so my next batch, I'm using more green guavi to provide the pectin. But I was wondering - don't applies have lots of pectin? I was thinking maybe of adding a green apple (I think I remember that the green apples have more pectin?) to the batch in hopes of having it set up better. For some reason, I'm loathe to use the store-bought pectin..... any thoughts?
