Low Sugar Strawberry Jam Recipe
My grandma used to make strawberry freezer jam, and it was so good! I've made it for years, but now I've switched to canned jam to save freezer space. For the last few years I've been making a low sugar strawberry jam recipe.
Strawberries are in season now, and i wanted to preserve them for later. My kids eat a lot of strawberry jelly, so I make a few batches a year.
Pectin needs sugar in order to set. You can't just use less sugar or it won't set up right. You can, however, use Sure Jell low sugar in the pink box for low sugar or no sugar recipes. The amount of fruit needed is different for low sugar and no sugar, so this recipe is just for low sugar.
This is a water bath canning recipe. I cooked the jam, and it brings out the strawberry flavor and gives it a nice gel. Keep track of your canning recipe by making a binder with my printable canning journal.
