    According to this OSU extension article, they are NOT interchangeable.

    They don't explain why... but from what I understand...

    Dry pectin is added before the fruit is cooked while liquid pectin should be added after the fruit has been cooked.

    With that in mind... you can give it a shot by adding liquid pectin after cooking down the fruit.
