This box of low sugar/no sugar pectin will do 2 to 4 batches of fruit. Gels fruit products sweetened with any amount of white or less processed sugar, honey, fructose, maple syrup, fruit juice concentrate, stevia or artificial sweetener. This contains n
Works wonderfully 
I love the idea of jam, but I never seem to actually eat the jars I purchase. Why? Because they only taste like sugar. This pectin gels with calcium instead of sugar, so you're free to use any level of sweetening you desire. Using this pectin, I was able to make a batch of peach preserves sweetened only with orange juice concentrate, that set very firmly. The only way to distinguish it from a boughten peach jam was that it actually tasted like fruit!
Even better, one package took care of a half box of peaches, and produced 21 1-cup jars.
Flexibility at last!
I was thrilled to find this pectin, not just because of the low-sugar/honey/etc. options, but because there is total flexibility in quantity. Regular powdered pectin requires precise batch sizes in addition to the precise quantities of sugar. With Pomona's you can adjust to whatever amount of fruit you have available. Also, if things don't turn out just the way you want them on your first try, it is very easy to redo, and instructions for this are included. I made a batch of chokecherry jam for the first time. It turned out not-quite-sweet-enough (hard to judge) but I was able to remake the jam, adding sugar and honey to taste and a little more pectin for a firmer set, and it turned out beautifully. This pectin will also apparently work with artificial sweeteners.
One 1oz box...10 pints and counting!
How do I love thee, Pomona? Well, first, you get a ton more jelling out of one box than you get out of the Ball/Knox variety. You don't have to use much pectin, either. You add a little calcium water to your fruit (doesn't affect taste) and after the fruit boils, add the sugar (or other sweetener: honey, stevia, etc.) with the pectin. The best thing is that I used one cup of sugar to the 4-6 cups called for in conventional jamming. You really taste the fruit with this kind of jam. And you know how you're supposed to do tiny but time-consuming jam batches to get it to gel right? Yeah, well, with Pomona, you can just triple the batch right off the bat. Plus, if you run into trouble, just call the JAMLINE for really knowledgeable help. It's like you're calling a jamming expert in her kitchen. Very cool.
Works great without much sugar.
This product works with calcium. You can use little or no sugar if you like. Also can use artificial sweetener.
