I used to candy a LOT of ginger - usually 10 to 15 pound batches - with left me with lots of ginger syrup. I would combine that with lime juice and pulp to make Ginger-Lime marmalade and to make sure it gelled, I used Pomona's Universal Pectin  because it doesn't need additional sugar to JEL firmly - and I mean FIRM!  

I used it decades ago to make jellies from wines - so firm you could turn the jar upside down and nothing came out.  

Back then there was a fad for "Sangria Jelly"  - what can I say, it was the '60s...

 

P.S.  I bought it in bulk - I think it was originally a pound.  Maybe 20 years ago. I still have some in a quart jar and it still works!  I made jelly from some orange syrup from my last batch of candied orange peel.  There is no expiration date on it.
