I found a recipe for Christmas Jam, and really needed to make some. Then I read the recipe. It called for 5 lbs. of sugar! Surely that was a type-o and they meant 5 cups? I e-mailed the blog author and she confirmed that it was indeed 5 lbs.......yikes! But....she mentioned that someone else had made the jam using low sugar pectin and much less sugar, so I decided to give it a try after all. I used 48 oz. of frozen strawberries, 1 lb. of frozen cranberries, 2 boxes of low sugar pectin, and 5 cups of sugar. After defrosting the berries, I chopped them in the food processor, and left them a bit chunky. My taste tester liked it! So.....I will have to make some more!

Ooh, that sounds good! Glad you made it less sweet.
Hi Eva,
I'm leaving a comment because I wanted to try to!!
It was great to see you at Stitch Mania. You certainly made Judy laugh!! I hope she knows how to send pictures, and she can send us one when she finishes that darned hamburger.
Hope you're having a good day.
Now I'm going to try and send this!! - Donna Bowers
