Acids in JAM

[Megajammer]

Hi there all valuable readers!
I am in a climate where lemons are not available now - and I am making jam.
I know that the citric acid helps extract and then set the pectin.
What other acids can I use????
Thanks:

Megajammer, I think you can buy powdered citric acid at any pharmacy. Hope that helps.

If you can get citrick acid you're good. Since you do not have lemons, I don't really know if there is any other subsituds.

I just posted this link in another thread. Chapter 7 is on jams and jellies. There may be an answer to your question in there. Hope this helps.
