The recipe calls for pectin however it doesn't specify what size box to use (calls for powdered pectin). Also somebody who made the recipe says it was too sweet for their taste. Wondering if I could cut back on the amount of sugar the originally recipe calls for or would it mess up the recipe? It calls for pineapple juice and kiwi, both are which acidic, so I'm assuming that cutting back on the sugar wouldn't make the recipe unsafe to eat? I would like to cut the amount of sugar the recipe calls for to 2 cups. Also I know in some recipes you can use a little bit of butter which prevents foam from forming (that way you don't have to skim it off). Can I do that with this recipe? If so, how much butter should I add (1 teaspoon, 2 teaspoons, etc.)
