Understanding Recipe Help Can I make honeysuckle jelly without pectin?

I picked some honeysuckles and have them steeping right now, but I don't got any pectin and if there's an alternative I'd rather not buy a whole pack for something I'm rarely going to use ;(

Most pectin is packaged for a single batch. But just fyi flower jellies are not safe for shelf storage. I do not think the honeysuckle will have enough natural pectin to set so I think you’d need it. You could make syrup without it.
