Low Sugar Raspberry Jam Recipe
We have several raspberry bushes, so I freeze the berries to make a reduced sugar raspberry jam recipe. I use it to naturally flavor my yogurt for a delicious treat.
Pectin needs to have sugar in order to create a gel. If you try to reduce the sugar in a jam recipe, it won't set right. You can use Sure Jell for low or no sugar recipes to reduce the sugar. A traditional recipe calls for 5 cups of fruit and 7 cups of sugar. This is a reduced sugar recipe with 5 cups of fruit and 4 cups of berries. If you're looking for a sugar free jam, then this isn't the recipe for you.
It's important to follow the directions exactly. Jam needs to boil for the stated time, and the ratio of ingredients is important for a good gel.
This low sugar raspberry jam will last for a year on the shelf. Low sugar jams have a shorter shelf life since they have less sugar. If you want to get rid of the seeds, use a food strainer with a berry screen.
