Sally wise's recipe always seems very wasteful to me.  I'm a bit of a skin flint.  When I am stewing apples to freeze or use,  I keep the pips and skins and use these to create pectin. 
You could do this in your TMX.  Put what ever you have available in the TMX bowl ,( about 1/2 full) and cover by about 6 cm. with water.   Don't fill bowl more than 3/4 full.
Cook on 100 for 30 mins, reverse, cap in. strain through a strainer lined with 2 layers of Chux.  OR through a jelly bag,  overnight.
This is your pectin juice.
When i make jams or jelly, I add this liquid to the mix.  Depending on the pectin in the fruit I may also add JamSetta.
If i am making a small amount,(less than 4 medium Jars),  I make it in the TMX.  If a large amount,  I use the stove.
Hope this helps.
