NO SUGAR ADDED BLACKBERRY JAM (WITH SPLENDA)
We have so many blackberries right now, and I love making jam, but without all the added sugar. You can't use regular pectin when cooking with Splenda, as it requires real sugar to set. However, there are low and no-sugar pectins available. I use Mrs. Wage's Lite Home Jell, but there are others. It turns out just as well, and is diabetic-friendly. I'm sure any berry could be used instead of blackberries. Another possibility is to use one-half chopped peaches and one-half blackberries for a twist on classic jam.

Steps:
- Place blackberries in medium saucepan over medium heat and add lemon juice.
- Crush berries with a potato masher, or any other tool, until desired consistency.
- I like there to be big chunks of berries in my jam, so I only crush a little.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Blend Splenda and the Lite Pectin in a small bowl, then add to the berry mixture.
- Bring back to a boil, and stir slowly until Splenda and pectin have dissolved.
- Mix well and allow to simmer one more minute.
- Fill clean, hot jars with the jam, leaving about 1/4 inch space, and seal with two-part lids.
- Store jam in refrigerator.
- After opening, jam can be stored for two weeks, refrigerated.

Steps:
- Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
- Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 3 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Stir in water. Gradually add pectin, stirring until well blended.
- Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in granulated sweetener or no-calorie sweetener packets. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
- Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blackberries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your jam. You can also use frozen blackberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before making the jam.
- Don't overcook the jam: This will make it thick and syrupy, which is not ideal for spreading on toast or other foods. Cook the jam just until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency.
- Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the jam reaches the proper temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can also use the cold plate test. To do this, place a small plate in the freezer before you start cooking the jam. When the jam is done, drop a small amount onto the cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Process the jam in a water bath: This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage. To do this, place the jars of jam in a large pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Process the jam for 10 minutes for half-pint jars or 15 minutes for pint jars.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the jam. Once opened, the jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Conclusion:
No-sugar-added blackberry jam is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this delicious fruit. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make your own batch of this tasty jam at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
