Current U.S. Dietary Guidelines advise reducing the amount of sugar in American diets. In addition, there are many people who prefer or need to reduce their sugar intakes. Methods for canning jams, jellies, and other fruit spreads have been developed that limit or reduce the amount of sugar in the product. For home canning, there are four options for reducing sugar in fruit spreads: 1) using special modified pectin, 2) using regular pectin with special recipes, 3) using the long-boil method, and 4) using gelatin. The techniques and ingredients in these methods are not interchangeable, so follow tested recipes to produce the best-jelled, and safest, products. For added safety, be sure to process and store low-sugar or no-sugar fruit spreads exactly as stated in the tested recipes.
