Low Sugar Jams -- Fruity Rather than Sugary



     If you prefer jam with fruit as the main ingredient, and a minimal amount of sugar, Pomona's pectin recipes are a great option. Jam recipes using this pectin require up to 80% less sugar than standard pectin recipes. Calcium water activates the citrus based pectin, so as little as 3/4 cups of sugar will sweeten 4 cups of fruit. The result is intensely fruit flavored, healthier jam. (Small amounts of honey, agave, maple syrup, frozen juice concentrate, or Stevia can also be used as sweeteners.)
