Default Jam Making

Oh boy Deb, I don't have a firm recipe written down. SuzyQ had found a sugar free
pectin made by Ball at Wal-mart and the recipes were included on an insert in the
box. I believe I used 3 bags of frozen blueberries, 2cups of splenda, 1 cup of
water and 2T of lemon juice. And the pectin that is specifically for non-sugar
type jams.

Would you please repost the recipe for this jam/jelly. I mentioned it to my
mom today and she wanted to get the recipe, so I needed it posted so I can
forward it on to her. She is diabetic, so the SF jelly would be great for
her and she loves making stuff like this all the time.

I did make the blueberry jam mid week, it turned out sooooooooo

wonderful!!! You
know I have an aversion to those artificial sweeteners, can taste all of

them in
everything. I was contemplating using half splenda and half sugar,

thinking it
would help. I finally just used the entire 2 cups of splenda, was

pleasantly
surprised that I can detect absolutely no artificial sweetener taste at

all. It
was fun to make ... so much so that I'm now going back to walmart to by

more of
the sugar free pectin and am going to make some peach jam. I also saw

some frozen
dark cherries ... thought those might be good too. LOL! I can already

see hubby
rolling his eyes, wondering what the heck we are going to do with a

freezer full
of jam.

I don't like those jello-y ones either - much too difficult to spread.

I
did find
the no sugar pectin at Wal-mart, just like you said. G Daughter has
asked me to
make blueberry jam, so hopefully I'll find some time this week to give

it
a try.
I'm looking forward to the experimentation process. lol

My first batch turned out OK, it wasn't really firm, but spreadable.
That
SF jelly from the store is a little too much like Jello for my tastes.
