how long does pectin last on the shelf? if i keep it for a few years,
will it still be usable?

most commercial brands have an expiry date on the package, and they are
usually marked good for a year...at least in my experience

All I've got is some experience that suggests that very old pectins don't
seem to jel as well - you might want to short the fruit a quarter cup or so.
