I made a batch of sugar free jam last year, strawberry. The color did fade out after a couple of weeks, so it
looked a little strange, the taste was ok, but not that good.
I used the recipe in the low or no sugar pectin box. I think a recipe
that has apples or apple juice added would help sweeten it and make it taste better.
I wish I had a recipe to share.

Have you tried MaryJanes's Chillover recipe? You don't have to have sugar to make it gel so no calcium solution etc. Just make your preserves with Splenda or Stevia to sweeten and use Chillover to thicken and can it! :)

I would love to can with honey instead of sugar. I have a friend who only eats honey as a sweetner and she always just makes freezer jam. Plus, we just got bee's and would love to be able to use the honey for canning. Is it just a different ratio?
