Where can I buy a jelmeter?

Question

Jelmeter is used to detect pectin in fruit juice when making jams and jellies. It us usually made of glass.

Answer 1

A jelmeter is a graduated glass tube with an opening at each end. It is used to determine the amount of pectin in fruit juice. The rate of flow of the juice through this tube is used as a measure of the jellying power of the juice. Therefore, it is an index to the amount of sugar to be used.

A jelmeter can usually be found with other canning supplies such as pressure cookers, jars and lids. I would go to a cooking supply store or get in touch with your local ACE hardware (that's where I got mine).
