No cook strawberry jam

[danna]

Cathy I used brown sugar but, that is because I like the taste....some recipes call for none but, I need some
I used like 1/3 cup to 2 or 3 cups of fruit depending on taste.

Hi Cathy, I just came across this book called Pomona' s Universal Pectin, which it says it works with this pectin and it does not need sugar to set up. They state that you can use maple syrup, honey or even fruit juice for making jams, jellies etc. I know you were making freezer jam, but maybe this would require much less sugar even though you would have to can it?

I have to look into this more, just saw this and wanted to give the information to you.

Me again, I was looking at the Pomona' s Pectin book and saw that the author has a website. The website has a no cook strawberry jam that requires one cup of sugar...the full directions are on this website.

You do need to have this special pectin that is available from Amazon, or they said try your local health food store....maybe this will help.
