Unfortunately it's a little late in the season to get fresh strawberries in
bulk but I may experiment anyways.

My point was: use another fruit. You want to start with fresh fruit.

I have googled on sugar free canning but was hoping to benefit from the
experience of low carbers who have made sugar free jam. Especially with
liquid splenda since it is new.

There is a type of pectin that doesn't require sugar but works in the
presence of calcium (Pomona's)

Be warned that Pomona's Universal Pectin produces a different
consistency product from regular pectin. I made some peach jam with it
a couple of years ago that I swear would bounce if I took it out of the
jar and dropped it on the floor! I think I lowered the amount of PUP I
used in my strawberry jam from what the recipe called for. It's better.

I did see the group in my googles and read some relevant info but I didn't
want to cross post, follow another list and I wanted to hear from the low
carb perspective.

Some of the no sugar required recipes still use some sugar and/or have
dextrose along with the pectin. Low carbers will understand the lengths
that we go to avoid unnecessary carbs. Others not necessarily so. Look at
Ig's post to the edible plants group.

don't want to prejudge the group just didn't want to bother them if it
proved unnecessary.

Thanks,
