I am looking for sugar free jam and preserve recipes, i found some on the web but they all have jello in them, i like making it the old fashomd way with pectin can you make sugar free stuff like that? anyway me dad found out he is diabetic last year and i dont want him to miss out on all the jams this year. his favorite is strawberry preserves but i think he would like anything i make, plus he is growing blackberries so that would be good too. thanks.

I am a former chef and if you do not want to go the artificial route I have made them with first doubling the fruit content, and take a large tin of apple juice and cook/boil it down to half or one third its volume, even a combo of apple and pear nectar is fine, this will add the need sweetness without sugar, a bit of lemon juice and either the "Certo" liquid or dry powder pectin, it takes a bit longer as the cooking time is longer to concentrate the flavours and bring out the natural sugar, but it can be done, let me know if you need more tips.
