Can i ask what the heck is this stuff and what is it used for?

Sure-Jell is powdered pectin, Certo is liquid pectin, and I have no idea what MCP is LOL

You use it when making jelly/jams for canning. It's kinda like gelatin but made from fruit instead of animal sources and I don't think it would actually make anything the consistency of 'jello'.

From Sure-Jell's website:
Pectin was originally discovered in 1825, by a French chemist named Henri Braconnot. It is a natural carbohydrate extracted from the inner peel of many fruits. The amount of pectin varies in different fruits, in varieties of fruit, from season to season, and in progressive stages of ripeness. More pectin is present in fruit before it is fully ripe.
Pectin functions to thicken and gel jams, jellies, relishes, butters, conserves and marmalades. Commercial pectin is used to enhance the level of naturally occurring pectin in fruit, enabling jams and jellies to "set" after shorter cooking time; it provides higher recipe yield and more true fruit flavor than previous, long-boiled method.

Found MCP on Kraft's Sure-Jell website - same thing as Sure-Jell, but it's only available on the West Coast (funny that GE would have a promo that included that LOL - shows that Catalina sets up these promos to include lots of different stores, not just GE!)

Here's the prices that I found tonite:

Sure-Jell $2.29
Sure-Jell Light $2.39

LOL I was thinking it would be fun to make jam with the kids - but I dunno if I want to spend that much :-) We've got schmuckers in the fridge LOL
