Hello Earthwalker,
I would have a field day at your place with all the fruit! Truly a transplanted Devonian.
No, I never add pectin either. In fact, I've never seen it on sale.
At the moment I am stuffing the freezer with the Sevilles before they go out of season. Also I am lurking around the shops waiting for the first blood oranges to appear.
It has been fascinating finding out who can get what fruit where. I've finally got the grapefruit video done so I'm hoping to hear from people when they have tried it.
