About Jams, Jellies & Preserves
The less sugar you use the greater the flavor impact of the fruit.
If honey is used there will be a flavor change and the jellies/jams must
be cooked longer. If you use artificial sweeteners use only the
Cyclamate type to avoid bitterness and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Cooked down jellies in which the juice is extracted by
the open kettle method contain 60% fruit versus commercial products
[pressure cooked to extract more juice but pectin destroying] with
only 45%
Jelly: has great clarity from dripping the cooked fruit through a
cloth before adding sugar and finishing.
