jelly molding
Using the following old recipe but I am substituting Splenda for the
sugar and using sugar free Jello. The jelly (or jam) molds in the
fridge a couple of weeks after opening. I am assuming the sugar might
be a preservative. Has a wonderful flavor with all kinds of jello
flavors. Any ideas on how to prevent this? Need to stay on a low sugar
diet.
Thanks,
Bruce
