I've only ever made cooked jams, jellies and preserves. My friend makes this recipe every year, so I knew it was something I'd like. Delicious! But you should definitely revise the prep time from 30 minutes to 1 hour. I'm a fast worker in the kitchen, so if it took me a full hour, I'm sure it will take most people that long.

Very easy to make and a delicious, fresh taste that is not cloyingly sweet - a definite recipe to use again!

This is WONDERFUL!!! I made this with strawberries I picked myself and we've eating 1.5 jars in a week. I'm going to go buy more supplies today so I can make more.

This recipe for low sugar jam is terrible! The recipe calls for sugar and there are no instructions for substituting Spenda, when to add the Splenda and no indications as how much Spenda to use.

I was pleasantly surprised with the wonderful taste of this jam. You can't tell it's reduced-sugar, and the fresh taste of the fruit really shines. And it set up perfectly. I have much better luck getting a good set with the pectin for reduced-sugar than I do with the regular. It's probably a little too firm for some people but I'd rather have a good set than have it be runny! It's outstanding in a PB&J sandwich on my homemade whole wheat bread, or on whole wheat toast.

Yes I would make this again at a later date. I thought it had good flavor which surprised me as I thought it wouldn't be so good without more sugar.
