Poking around the NCHFP site and other (only a couple) recipe sites, I'm guessing that one big reason has to do with shelf stability -- of the gelatin-thickened spread recipes I looked at, all are NOT processed and require storage in fridge or freezer (when unopened) and are to be used within a few weeks or a few months.

Just FYI, I think the rest of your analysis holds. B/

Edrena Yeah -- I couldn't figure out how to say it, Edrena. The gelatin set is more like ---- Jell-O. The pectin set is ---- different. Like a proper jam or jelly. :-) -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://www.jamlady.eboard.com - story and pics of Ronald McDonald House dinner posted 6-24-2007
