Can anyone tell me what the chemical difference is between "regular"
(yellow box) and "less sugar" (pink box) pectin (SureJel brand)? I have
read the ingredients and they don't seem that different (yellow has
citric acid, pink has fumaric acid and sodium citrate.

It's a different kind of pectin - how's that? :-) It's called low
methoxyl pectin. There are a boatload of different pectin types
available to commercial producers, each with different applications and
characteristics. Look up a pectin producer in Oakhurst, CA -- National
Pectin?? I think they have descriptions.

There you go!! Pacific Pectin. My brother lives in Oakhurst, so I
hoped that if I had the name wrong you'd still be able to find them. :-)
