For years and years, there have been a subset of people that have written to ask me about making jam with sugar substitutes. I attempted a handful of occasions with stevia and monkfruit, however I by no means favored the outcomes sufficient to share them right here. However the people from Mrs. Wages not too long ago despatched me a field of mixes and pectins that included a pair packets of their Sugar Free Fruit Pectin Dwelling Jell and I used to be impressed to attempt once more.

This time, I attempted it with the non-sugar sweetener Swerve and located that together with ripe peaches, a little bit apple juice, bottled lemon juice, some spices, and the sugar free pectin, produced a extremely balanced and fantastically set sugar free peach jam.

With any peach jam, I began by peeling peaches (4 kilos, to be exact). I reduce them in half, eliminated the pits and organized them reduce aspect down on a deep baking sheet. Then I poured water from a freshly boiled tea kettle over the peaches and allow them to sit for 2 minutes. When the time was up, I fastidiously drained away the recent water and ran cool faucet water over the peaches. The peels (principally) slide proper off.

As soon as the peaches have been peeled, I slid them into an 8 quart Dutch oven and used a potato masher to interrupt them into small bits. I added 1 cup of apple juice, 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice, and one packet Mrs. Wages Sugar Free Fruit Pectin Dwelling Jell and let it sit for ten minutes.

Usually, if you add sugar to fruit, it attracts out the liquid and helps to stop burning. However sugar-free sweeteners don’t have the identical impact and what’s extra, you don’t wish to boil them for lengthy, as that may render them bitter. So the juice is a important aspect in getting a sufficiently cooked peach consistency. I made a few actually unsatisfying batches earlier than I discovered this trick.

As soon as the fruit had an opportunity to sit down and mellow with the pectin, I set the pot on the range and introduced it as much as a tough boil. Because it labored its approach as much as a boil, I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of floor cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.

When it reached a tough boil, I set a timer for 1 minute and eliminated the pot from the warmth the second the time was up (the Mrs. Wages directions stress the significance of not overcooking the pectin, as that might hinder its skill to set).

Lastly, with the pot off the range, I stirred in 1 1/4 cups Swerve (although you possibly can clearly use your non-sugar sweetener of alternative). Then, it was only a matter of funneling the jam into sizzling pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the edges, apply new lids and rings, and course of in a boiling water tub canner for 10 minutes (adjusting for altitude when you reside above 1,000 ft in elevation).

After the processing time is up, flip off the warmth, take away the lid and let the jars relaxation within the cooling water for 5 minutes. Then take away the jars and set them to chill on a folded kitchen towel or picket board. Allow them to sit till they’re utterly cool after which verify seals. Sealed jars might be saved in your pantry, any with failed seals must be refrigerated and used promptly.

Troubleshooting Sugar Free Jam

Don’t fear when you discover that the jam seems to be a little bit runny when it first comes out of the canner. Mine took a full day to succeed in set. Additionally, do not forget that sugar-free jams spoil extra rapidly than these with conventional parts of sugar. If a pint jar is an excessive amount of on your family to make use of inside a few weeks, think about using half pint and even 4 ounce jars. That approach, you’ll be capable of eat via the jar earlier than it begins to get moldy.

I’m delighted to have discovered a method to make a satisfying and scrumptious sugar-free jam. I hope you prefer it simply as a lot as I do!
