Look for Certo in the grocery store. It comes as either a powder or
liquid.

Or Knox. You find it in the spice/baking aisle, normally near the
canning items.

You don't make jam with gelatin. You use pectin. In the US there is
Certo and Sure-Jel. They both come with directions. The liquid and
powder versions are NOT interchangeable.

I've interchanged them. The directions are different for the two types of
pection but other than that the recipes are pretty much the same. Just
follow the directions for the type of pectin you're using.

You're right, but there are certain recipes where they aren't
interchangable... like hot pepper jelly.

It is not common to make jam with gelatin. What they want is fruit pectin.

Strike that, I meant to say Sure-Jell. Knox is gelatin.

You don't use gelatin. You use pectin, sold around here as
Certo. You can get liquid or crystals, and recipes come
with the product.

Supermarket.
If you're truly looking for gelatin, be sure your jam recipe uses it.
Fruit pectin is most commonly used to make jam, not gelatin. Pectin
comes as powder or liquid, in boxes to make one batch (usually; one box
of liquid pectin may make two batches of jam) -- follow the recipes with
the particular kind of pectin; they are used differently and the recipes
are not interchangeable.

Good luck.

I think you want pectin, not gelatin... and I don't think anyone can
advise where to buy either (except on the net) lest you say where
you're located.
