Can someone please tell me the Portuguese word for Pectin?

I'm sure my Intermarche must sell it but I'm blowed if I can find it on the shelves...... so assume it't got a different name here!

Pectina.

Thanks, obrigado & asante sana etc

Just a further thing with Intermarche they are franchises and some are prepared to order things they might not stock, like pectin.
New potatoes (jersey royaltype) are available 12/12 in Portugal from Vitacress we buy from one Intermarche who does stock them but not local asked local to order a 5 Kg every 3 weeks no problem

Oh but we sooooooo need a good supermarket in Figueiro Dos Vinhos because the ones we have are as much use as a chocolate teapot!

I tried all 3 here & none have pectin or jam sugar & past experience has taught me the local Intermarche have no interest whatsoever in ordering anything different.

So I'll take the easy way out & order online!

Hear, hear. I do wish we had one in Central PT. Coimbra would be good thanks!

Aldi, are you listening?!

Even better, let's see Tesco or even Pick N Pay opening a few branches here!

They'd knock Intermarche into a cocked hat!
