I decided to try this jam for the first time this weekend. Growing up, my grandmother ALWAYS cut way down on the sugar required in most jam recipes, so I figured a sugarless one would be even better! I used local honey and fresh local strawberries, but I did forget that I needed lemon zest, so that was left out this time.
I can say there will definitely be a next time for this jam! I was uncertain at first when I tried it, but after I let it sit for a day in the fridge, I gave it another try and LOVE it! The honey has a very subtle flavor that perfectly compliments the strawberries. I was also glad the jam set up so well, especially since this was my first attempt at jam!
Thanks for a great recipe!

I used meyer lemon and clover honey–the flavor was great and the jam plenty sweet naturally. I love it that I didn’t have to pour several cups of sugar into a jam recipe. Thank you!

This looks delicious! On the pectin, are you using the regular powdered pectin or the low/no sugar pectin?

Turned out great. Honey was a subtle flavor, not as sweet as with most jams and all that sugar. First time canning for me, but it’s a wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This is on my Memorial Day weekend to-do list. Strawberries are on sale, ripe and ready to can!

I’m dying to try this but want to make sure I understand what type of pectin you’re referring to. Do you mean the Ball pectin that comes in the jars vs. the box of pectin? Can’t wait to give this a try!

I’m a chunks-in-my-jam kind of girl too, so I thought I’d pass on this tip: about 10-15 minutes after you take the jars out of the sterilizing bath, turn them upside down to redistribute the fruit. If necessary, you can turn them back up after 10-15 more minutes. Kind of ridiculous when all you have to do is stir the jam before eating it, but I think it looks prettier if the chunks of fruit are distributed throughout the jar.

Ooh! This is first on my list when good strawberries are in season!
