Pomona's Universal Pectin is 100% low methoxyl citrus pectin for making low-sweetener jam & jelly. See below (or look in Photos/Albums) for an easy step-by-step video guide to making low-sugar strawberry jam.
Pomona's Universal Pectin is the only pectin on the market that is sugar free, has no preservatives, and jells with low amounts of any sweetener.
It is a low methoxyl type pectin, which means its jelling power is activated by calcium (included in the box with the pectin), not by sugar content.
With Pomona’s, home jam-makers are free to make cooked jam and jelly and freezer jam sweetened precisely to their taste; and they can use low amounts of any sweetener, including sugar, honey, stevia, fruit juice concentrate, agave, maple syrup, xylitol, sucanat or any other sweetener.
Pomona’s Pectin is a perfect product for people who are trying to eat in a more healthy manner, especially diabetics and pre-diabetics who must cut back on their sugar intake, those trying to lose weight by cutting back on calories, mothers who are trying to reduce the amount of sugar in their children’s diets, and anyone who prefers more fruit than sugar in their jam. (Ordinary fruit pectins require jam or jelly to be 55-85% sugar to set firmly.)
