If a recipe calls for powdered pectin and entirely hypothetically (of
course) some well-intentioned but rather illiterate spousal unit picked
up *many* packages of liquid in pouches "because they were on sale"
what's the substitution?

There should be a recipe in the Certo packets that Spouse hypothetically
bought that is similar enough to your recipe to adapt yours. Notice that
the *directions* are totally different, but the recipes are not.

Best regards,
Bob

actually I posed this question to the Certo people and they say that
the 2 are not interchangeable. However recipes have been developed
for one or the other, so you should be able to find a recipe, for
example, to make strawverry jam with liquid pectin, and another
strawberry jam recipe using powdered pectin. The Certo people said
that the recipes would not be the same, but I never compared them to
check/see the difference.

good luck with that hyothetical pile of pectin,
Kathi
