Sugar Free Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Recipes

SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Wash jars, bands, and lids in hot soapy water. Place jars in water bath canner filled 1/2 way with water. Bring water to a rolling boil. Turn off the burner and leave jars in canner until ready to use.
• Place lids and bands in water in a small saucepan and heat until water simmers. Keep lids & bands in warm water until ready to use.
• If using fresh strawberries, chop into quarters before adding to a large saucepan. Chop the rhubarb into small pieces and add to the saucepan with the cut strawberries.
• Add lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and calcium water to strawberries and blend in well.
• In a bowl add allulose and pectin and blend well.
• Heat the strawberries and rhubarb in the saucepan over medium heat. As they start to soften, mash with the back of a fork, or use a potato masher. I like my jam to be a bit chunky so I only mash a little bit. Mash your strawberries and rhubarb to the consistency that you like. Bring strawberries and rhubarb to a boil.
• Add pectin-sweetener mixture, continuing to mix for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the strawberry rhubarb jam comes back up to a boil. Boil for 1 full minute once the jam reaches the boiling stage.
• Fill jam jars to ¼" to the top. Clean rims with a clean cloth. Add lids and twist bands until finger tight.
• Add jars to the water bath canner when the water in the canner reaches a full boil. Boil 10 full minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level).
• Remove from water. Let jars cool undisturbed for 24 hours.
• Test for seal, if a jar did not seal, you can reprocess it again in the canner for 10 full minutes, or add that jar to the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• If your strawberry rhubarb jam did not gel to the consistency you want you can add the jam back into a saucepan and add another tsp of calcium water. Bring the jam back up to a boil and repeat steps 8 to 11.

NO SUGAR-NEEDED STRAWBERRY JAM WITH STEVIA

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, 1 layer at a time. Measure exactly 3 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. 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. Cook exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in no-calorie sweetener. 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 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.) Let prepared jars stand at room temperature 24 hours. Store unopened jams and jellies in cool, dry, dark place up to 1 year. Refrigerate opened jams and jellies up to 3 weeks.

SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Thaw strawberries.
• In a bowl, soften gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water.

• Place strawberries into a heavy sauce pan, along with any any juices.
• If they don't have much juice from thawing, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until strawberry pieces are softened.
• Stir in softened gelatin until completely dissoved.
• Remove from heat and stir in Splenda.

• Note: do not add too much water along with the strawberries, they will probably release enough moisture while heating.

PECTIN-FREE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Mix rhubarb and sugar in a large heavy pot and let stand for 2 hours; stir in lemon juice and strawberries. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Set heat to medium-high and cook jam at a full rolling boil until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching, 20 to 25 minutes. A candy thermometer inserted into the middle of the jam, not touching the pot, should read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).
• Remove jam from heat and stir for 2 to 3 more minutes; skim off any foam.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Let jars stand on wire racks for 24 hours to cool and seal. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
