Welcome! I've gotten so I like the Lo sugar strawberry jam with No Sugar Needed
Pectin. I use only one cup of sugar to the batch. Adding a bit of real sugar
brightens up the taste & adds *sparkle* to the color. And real sugar always
tastes better, but this is lower than regular recipes. I did make a batch using
my favorite sweetener, Splenda, but the color and taste were disappointing. And
the riper the berries, the softer the set.
