Hi Fae and . We're happy to have you with us.

I have never tried to make it with Splenda. We usually use concentrated grape juice for a "no sugar added" jam...comes out to about 1/2 the calories, 1/2 the carbs and 1/2 the sugar of a regular jam. Let us know how yours turned out.

Hi Fae, and welcome. Can't wait to hear the results of your sugar free jam!

@frustratedearthmother how do you make the extract?

Mine turned out horrible. I've never made something that tasted that appalling! I'll have to try the juice, though.

Hope your next attempt turns out better!

Sugar free is easy. I like to use cook carrots and roasted red peppers for natural sweetness in sauces.

For jellies, preserves, etc. you can add frozen concentrated juices to add sweetness to fruit for sweet products. Use no sugar pectin and follow instructions carefully.

How much fruit juice concentrate do you guys use to get the desired sweetness, say per pound of fruit?

 

[lcertuche]

Add it to your fruit or use as juice according to directions on the pectin box.
