Recipe: Sugar Free Jams - Tips

You will need to buy a special pectin, a low methoxyl one. Ball Light, Sure jel light, etc. in the store. Better yet, by far, in my opinion is Pomona's Universal pectin. You need to order it online or by phone from them. It is amazing stuff. I think it would gel water. I am very impressed with the product. I use fruit or fruit juice, adding some unsweetened apple juice and Splenda. Made the best sugar free plum jelly that way. Regular pectin will not work nor trying to make it with just fruit if you want sugar free, it won't gel.

Gelatin will only make one that is like jello, and just kept in the fridge for a couple weeks.

Sugar free jams do mold quickly, so be sure to keep in the fridge and eat within 3 weeks.
