Homemade Triple Berry Jam (0 POINTS!!!)


*FROM SPLENDA.COM:With proper canning techniques, SPLENDAŽ Granular can be used to make great-tasting, low-sugar recipes. SPLENDAŽ Granular is heat stable and can be used as a sweetener in making jams and jellies. However, it does not provide preservative properties so proper canning techniques are essential. Please consult a canning book for instructions on sugarless canning.

Regular pectin needs sugar and acid to gel. Jams and jellies made with SPLENDAŽ Granular must use specially modified pectins to ensure proper set and preservation. Sufficient acidity may also be needed to ensure preservative effects. Use tested recipes to ensure that there is enough acid. Sugarless canning experts recommend a final pH of less than 4.6.

Our test kitchens have successfully made jams with SURE JELL* Fruit Pectin for Lower Sugar Recipes and other modified pectins. These pectins are specially formulated to aid in gel formation and in preservation of jams and jellies with reduced or no sugar.
* SURE-JELL is a trademark of Kraft Foods Holdings, Inc.


No need to give up flavor when watching added sugars.
