• 10 note on "dr. oetker's super gelling sugar 3:1". dr. oetker is a well known brand in germany. there are several gelling sugars available. the "3:1" super gelling sugar already contains pectin and you only need 1/3 of sugar. if you can't get it, you could also use dr. oetker's 2:1 super gelling sugar.
• 11 note on "custom yield": this is always a guess. it depends mainly how much water evaporates during cooking. sometimes i get more glasses, sometimes less. have enough preserving jars at hand.
