I just found your blog and don't know if you will see this comment, but I have used low sugar Sure Jell for years to make jams and have never had any result other than delicous! My jams have become the most requested gifts on my families wish list, so it is not just me that thinks it is great. LOL!<br /><br />I make strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, peach, fig, mixed berry and some jellies all with the low sugar pectin. I use the powder, not the liquid, only because my mom had never liked the liquid, so I just haven't used it.<br /><br />Hope you have good results!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119551091046515221.post-31928824385270785762009-07-08T16:21:35.790-04:002009-07-08T16:21:35.790-04:00I stumbled upon your blog today and wanted to tell...I stumbled upon your blog today and wanted to tell you about my site and my giveaways--lots of Etsy features too.

I wanted some really tart jams so I cut back on the sugar but used citrus, peel and all to get the pectin that is in the peel. I made a blackberry rhubarb jam with lemon and it came out great. Not heavily jelled, but definitely jam rather than sauce. For 4 pints of jam I used less than a cup of sugar. I also made Orange-rhubarb marmalade from a recipe I found on Tastespotting using less than half the sugar called for.Blue House Studio World HQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768268385116516425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119551091046515221.post-34270280490344882422009-07-01T13:03:08.456-04:002009-07-01T13:03:08.456-04:00I've only made freezer jam so far because I ha...I've only made freezer jam so far because I haven't taken the time to learn proper canning, but I really should this year...

I'll look into it, but maybe another option is we can have people matched up by country? So as long as we have 2 people willing to participate in a country we should be ok :) I never realized just HOW much sugar goes into some jam recipes, it's crazy!!

You totally read my mind about the sugarless and pectinless jam. That is the reason why I don't usually like to eat it because it soo sweet! The natural flavours of the fruit can be totally masked and if that's the case, I would rather eat fresh fruit. Every year when my neighbour sends us her extremely sweet jam from freshly picked strawberries, I feel so bad for those precious strawberries!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497908859658953330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119551091046515221.post-81077475895324984392009-06-30T12:50:58.833-04:002009-06-30T12:50:58.833-04:00I'm in on this one!
