I am trying to find a good product in bulk at a reasonable price. I am starting my canning season again, and I live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska, so prices are high for the 2 packets of Certo you get at the store.
Any leads would be great! Thanks!

Have you tried googling "bulk pectin"? I just did and found this place. http://pacificpectin.com/ Price looks pretty good, good variety of products, and they sell in truly bulk quantities. No hint on the website about shipping charges outside the lower 48 but they're in California so at least the stuff doesn't have to be shipped halfway around the world to get to you. I might order some myself. I also get tired of paying relatively high store prices for the tiny packages and in the FAQs they say that pectin will last up to 2 years if stored properly.

Have heard good things about: http://www.pomonapectin.com/ I haven't used it, yet. Seriously thinking about ordering some to see how it works with my blueberry and fireweed jellies this year. The thing I caught my eye on their pectin, it's not dependent on sugar to set, so if you want to make a jam without sugar or sweeteners, you can.
