          will thicken like jelly in the alcohol after about 1 minute. If my pectin 
          is concentrated enough I can lift it out of the alcohol with a fork. 
          I know when it is ready when this happens, but if the pectin is runny 
          off the fork then I will have to boil it down some more until it becomes 
          thicker. I can repeat the alcohol test again until it is ready. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buildanark.net/index.php?food_recipes/Making%2520Your%2520Own%2520Pectin!.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.buildanark.net/img/E01322E4-FEE6-4B7A-BA1D-85F19326D19A" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buildanark.net/index.php?food_recipes/Making%2520Your%2520Own%2520Pectin!.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.buildanark.net/img/BA5F83D5-7A3D-4654-8BF1-F005290641AF" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buildanark.net/index.php?food_recipes/Making%2520Your%2520Own%2520Pectin!.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.buildanark.net/img/0841452D-4A3F-419E-89E8-D6601D1BC3CA" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D85D668C-F3B5-49B1-929D-46D9FB8FBBCB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
