OH I am so excited! I also used Stevia and only 1-1/2 cups of sugar for the recipe and it turned out GREAT! in total I ended up with 7 half-pints of delicious jam! That means that the nutritional values are: 4 g. of carbs for each serving and only 18 calories... My husband only wanted a PB&J for dinner last night!! I am going to try the homemade pectin with Rhubarb today...Karole Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906466228564785571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21022931.post-62801121552292949052012-05-13T21:04:02.623-04:002012-05-13T21:04:02.623-04:00That is a tough one....I have heard that jamm is m...That is a tough one....I have heard that jamm is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a pur�e of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain chunks of fruit. <br /><br />Preserves are fruit cooked with sugar to the point where large chunks of fruit or whole fruit, such as berries, are suspended in a syrup base. The texture of preserves is not smooth like jelly or jam. <br /><br />I guess my jams are really more like preserves!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307035157000793203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21022931.post-20259350097351423222012-05-13T09:10:06.237-04:002012-05-13T09:10:06.237-04:00Happy Mother's Day, Cynthia!
