To Dorothy re: jam

Hi Dorothy: I'm sorry I won't be too much help; nothing definitive anyway I have never used the low-sugar pectins. But I did use that strawberry jam recipe many times this summer and it is just wonderful. Not sure if you are dealing with healh issues, but would you be able to try it "full strength" first so you knew how the recipe tasted? (Or literally just taste it and give the rest away?) If not, it may be an experiment the first time with the low-sugar pectins. I would add the triple sec at the end of the "low-sugar box's" directions and just boil the jam for one more minute, like the original recipe. And if I remember right, since the original recipe called for 4 cups of berries and 8 cups of sugar (less than the low-sugar version), perhaps use a scant 1/3 cup of triple sec. Let us know. Good luck! The jam is worth several attempts at making it. I'm sure it's an individual taste but I just love it. Tastes like a very good strawberry jam with a little bit of orange. (Also, it was written as an "inversion recipe," which is what I did, and I have lived to tell about it.)
