A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Pectin is a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in fruit cell walls, sold as a white powder to set jams, jellies, and marmalades. One metric cup (250 ml) of powdered pectin weighs around 150 grams or 5.29 ounces. Most jam recipes call for one packet (about 49 g) per batch.

Pectin quantity determines the firmness of a jam: too little and the preserve stays runny; too much and it sets like rubber. Measuring by weight keeps results consistent between batches and across different brands.

Gelatin is the collagen-based alternative used for dessert gels rather than preserves. Use the gelatin converter for mousses, panna cotta, and marshmallows. See our Gelatin converter.

Agar-agar is the seaweed-derived gelling agent used for both desserts and jams. Use the agar-agar converter for vegan jellies and gel-set desserts. See our Agar-Agar converter.
