Low sugar jam recipes ???? Help please
« on: June 09, 2012, 08:03:25 pm »
Can anyone help?

I can buy from France ( in the supermarket)  jam made with no added sugar, they use concentrated fruit juice. It is brilliant on home made yogurt.

It is soft fruit season and I came one with cherries today bought on the side of the road. Can anyone point me in the direction of low sugar jam or compote ( needs to keep in jars) .

I don't have access to this often mentioned substitute rapadura (?spelling) and won't use chemical sweeteners.

Thanks in advance
DJ x

I make a jam like recipe just cooking up strawbs/raspberries with some agar agar in the TM.  Without the sugar it wouldn't last long but as it is so easy to make, I just do it fresh when I need it and use it before a few days is up.  My kids eat it like they would normal jam, they find it sweet enough without sugar but occasionally I just add it tiny bit of pure maple syrup through it if the fruit was a bit tart.

Jess, what about natural sweeteners like honey, would that work.
