I have always made strawberry freezer jam with sugar. I am interested in making it sweetened with honey and fruit juice instead. Has anyone tried this and does it yield a good result?
Heather is right, and using the low sugar pectin your results can be just a bit thinner, but all the more flavor too so it's a trade off...I'd rather have the no sugar any day.

Susie - The directions for freezer jam are in the pectin box's insert. Usually you crush the fruit, add the sugar, stir in the pectin cooked in a little water, pour into freezer jars, let sit overnight on the counter and then freeze. It lasts about a year in the freezer and is less work than canning jam. I usually use strawberrie. I am doing a guest post on making jam with kids on another lady's blog. I have only made the sugar variety and was curious about what kind of results to expect with the honey variety.
What about the gel powder MJ sells, that Chill Over Powder? I want to use it to make my freezer jam this year. Anyone have a MJ Chill Over Powder Jam recipe?
