Preserving Sugar

Processed

Preserving Sugar

Preserving sugar is large-crystal sugar designed to dissolve slowly and gently when making jams and conserves—reducing scum and helping clear jellies. A refined granulated product for preserving, not a liquid syrup. Stir carefully while dissolving; do not confuse with jam sugar that already contains pectin.
