I have a glut of strawberries and want to make some reduced sugar jam with them.
Anyone got any good recipes, please?

I dont know I am afraid, but maybe if you added extra pectin to help it set?

I would be interested too!

This site has the only low sugar jam recipes that I know of, but you will need Splenda, not sugar, and keep the jam in the fridge.

I have to ask, how come you have a glut of an out of season fruit?

last year i just boiled up a load of blacberries with splenda until it thickened and then kept it in the fridge.. i didnt use any gelatine or anything and it was lovely

doesnt keep as long as shop bought jam but u could freeze the berries and keep making it as needed

I made strawberry jam yesterday in the breadmaker and i was shocked by the amount of sugar i had to put in (equal amount of fruit and sugar)Is there another way of making jam but using less sugar .Can i use sweeteners instead of sugar?

We have an older thread on making reduced sugar jam for people with diabetes.

I'll add your question to that to keep suggestions together.
