Jam Recipes

Low Sugar Blueberry Jam

6 1/2 c prepared fruit (5pts. blueberries)
4 1/2 c sugar
1 box Sure jell low/no sugar pectin
1/2 tsp butter

Crush fruit add to large pan with 4.5 cups sugar.  Add 1/2 tsp butter.   Bring to full rolling boil and add Sure Jell.  Boil 1 minute (per directions on Sure Jell box.)  Turn off heat, and place in sterilized jelly jars.  Seal with prepared lids. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.


Low Sugar Strawberry Fig Jam

6 cups prepared fruit
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1-2 T  Sure Jell no sugar added pectin

Boil several quarts of water.  Sprinkle figs with 1 -2 T baking soda and pour boiling water over figs and let sit about 5 minutes. Drain water and peel figs to remove skin. Chop figs finely.  Chop stemmed strawberries finely.  Measure fruit into large pan.  Add sugar to pan.  Bring to full rolling boil, add 1 -2 T no sugar added pectin.  Usually figs have plenty of pectin with out needing to add pectin, but I usually add a little to ensure the jam sets.  Boil jam 1 minute per instructions for the pectin.   Turn off heat.  Place jam in sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Process 5 minutes in boiling water canner.  Makes 6 to 7 cups of jam.
