Ingredients: Wash, cut up or mash aprox. 3 qt. fruit. (Do not use food processor, it breaks down the natural fruit pectin) Place in 6-8 qt. heavy kettle.
Add:
1 can, undiluted, frozen, 100% fruit, apple juice concentrate, thawed,
1-2 tbl. lemon juice,
dash of sea salt, (pinch is too much),
Gradually stir in 1 pkg. of Ball No Sugar Pectin to keep it from clumping,
1/4 to 1/3 c. granulated sugar(the sugar maintains the color of the fruit and gives it the glossy appearance of its sugared cousin),
10-20 packets of Splenda, depending on the sweetness of fruit,

Notes: As you diabetic, home jam makers know, the no sugar pectin does not jell well. The jam is runny and lacks the appearance and taste of its sugared cousin. Not willing to accept this as inevitable I have tinkered with this recipe to find a solution. It was easier than anticipated. The variability of this recipe accommodates both the sweet taste lover and the fruit taste lover. I also discovered that fruits can easily be mixed as long as the ratio of 5 cups of fruit and juice to 1 pkg. of the Ball No Sugar Pectin is maintained.
Although I am not a long time resident of Tieton, its only been five or six years since I moved here, it feels more like home to me than any other place I have ever resided.
