Low Sugar Triple Berry Jam Recipe Canning Recipe
Triple berry jam has strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. I used a low sugar pectin so I could lighten the sugar. The three berries come together for a delicious berry flavor that isn't overpowered by sugar.
We grow berries on the farm, so I wash them and freeze them until I have enough to preserve them. I had just a few left of these three berries, so I made a mixed berry jam.
Pectin needs sugar in order to form a gel. You can't just use less sugar in regular pectin; you need to use Sure Jell for low or no sugar recipes. Fruits have their own natural pectin, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly for a good gel.
Once you make the jam, you can can it to preserve it. I gave it a water bath for 10 minutes. Keep track of your favorite canning recipes with my printable canning pages to make a binder.

Why do you need Low Sugar Sure Jell? I’ve canned jams and preserves with the same proportion of sugar to fruit, and used regular Sure Jell. They came out fine. There is a large amount of sugar in this recipe for the amount of berries. I do not consider this to be a low sugar product. It is not suitable for many with a taste for really fruity flavor or in need of a low glycemic index. It will be too sugary sweet to taste the fruit. Just my opinion but I don’t believe it deserves the label Low Sugar.
This is the preserves Recipe I was looking for. I'm using frozen mixed berries and prefer to use "less" sugar than you would need with regular sure gel pectin which is 7+ cups.
