Recipe: Smucker'S Fruit Pectin Recipes Jam And Jelly Basics

I found this on a diabetic recipe site. Hope these help! I know these are more
for jams and such but you could try the basic recipes and just substitute the
main ingredient....

SMUCKER'S FRUIT PECTIN RECIPES JAM AND JELLY BASICS

Use only SMUCKER'S No Sugar Needed Pectin in each recipe. Recipe results with
other pectins cannot be ensured.
Use only fresh, ripe fruit.
If sweetening is desired, follow guidelines for sugar and non-sugar
sweeteners.
Weight measurements given for each recipe are approximate; the cup
measurement should be used when preparing the recipe.
Measure ingredients carefully. Use standard measuring cups and spoons. Finely
chop fruit for jams; do not puree it. Pureed fruit will add too much liquid and
fruit for a good gel.
Add 1/8 tsp. of butter during timed boiling period to reduce foaming.
Prepare only one batch at a time. Doubling the recipe may yield unfavorable
results.
Visually examine the jars and sealing surfaces for nicks, cracks or sharp
edges. Wash and rinse jars. Keep jars warm in dishwasher or hot water until
ready to fill. (Do not use oven.) Jars used for jellies should be sterilized in
boiling water for 10 minutes. For elevations above 1.000 feet, add 1 additional
minute for each 1,000 foot increase. Keep jars warm in water until ready to
use.
Wipe jar rim clean; place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass, and
screw band down evenly and firmly. Do not use excessive force.
Process all jam and jelly in a water bath canner. If required, increase
processing time according to altitude chart.

Jam Directions

1. Wash and prepare fruit as directed in recipe.
2. Measure prepared fruit into 6 or 8 quart saucepan. Add water or unsweetened
fruit juice and lemon juice, if listed.
3. If sweetening is desired, measure sugar or non-sugar sweetener; set aside.
See guidelines for measuring sweetener.
4. Gradually stir SMUCKER'S No Sugar Needed Pectin into prepared fruit. (Do not
add pectin all at one time.) This may take several minutes. A wire whisk or
fork may be helpful in mixing the pectin and fruit. Bring to a boil over medium
- high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. If scorching occurs,
reduce heat. For making jam with no sugar, continue with step 6.
5. To add sugar: Stir sugar into boiling fruit mixture. Return to a boil. Boil
hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. To add non-sugar sweetener: Boil fruit and
pectin mixture 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in non-
sugar sweetener.
6. Remove from heat. Skim foam, if necessary. Carefully ladle into hot jars,
leaving 1/4 - inch headspace. Adjust caps.
7. Process all jam 10 minutes in a boiling water bath canner. If required,
increase processing time according to altitude chart.
8. Remove jars from canner. Let jam cool 12 to 24 hours. Check lids for seal by
pressing down on the center of the lid. If the lid springs up, it is not
sealed, and the jam should be refrigerated.
9. Remove bands, and clean exterior surface of jars and lids. Store jam in a
cool, dry, dark area for up to one year.

Altitude Chart
At altitudes above 1,000 feet, increase boiling water bath processing time as
follows:

Altitude - Feet ------------Increase Processing Time

1,000 - 3,000 ------------------ 5 minutes
3,001 - 6,000 ------------------ 10 minutes
6,001 - 8,000 ------------------ 15 minutes
8,001 - 10,000 ----------------- 20 minutes
