No Sugar Added Blackberry Jam (With Splenda) image

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.

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups blackberries
1 1/2 cups Splenda sugar substitute
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons low methoxyl pectin (one box if using Mrs. Wages) or 2 tablespoons light pectin (one box if using Mrs. Wages)

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.

This jam is a great way to use up fresh blackberries. It's also a healthy alternative to store-bought jams.

I was surprised at how good this jam is! I'm not a fan of Splenda, but it didn't overpower the flavor of the blackberries. The jam is also nice and thick, which I like. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The jam is delicious and so easy to make. I used fresh blackberries from my garden and they were perfect. I'll be making this jam all summer long.

This no-sugar-added blackberry jam is a lifesaver! I'm diabetic and have been craving jam for ages. This recipe is perfect because it uses Splenda, which doesn't raise my blood sugar. The jam is also super easy to make and tastes just like the real t
