My MIL uses Certo, I used some put out by ball this time. They also had a low sugar one that I didn't get but might this next time. Like I said I just got those on Sat evening and will be getting more tomorrow. I see lots of freezer jam in my future. There was NO cooking with this one either. Didn't seem to be real sweet when I tried it but I know it can get sweeter with time.....It also showed to use splenda so I may just try a batch with that.
Do you can anything?? I am going to try my hand at it this year and have been surfing for tips.
My flats of dianthus were on clearance from a fundraiser that got rained out too many weekends this month. They were not as large as the ones I paid more than twice as much for at the Farmer's market, so I just planted two plants in each hole I dug with the bulb planter.
Strawberry Freezer Jam is the best stuff ever. Years ago, I made low sugar freezer jam using the low sugar Sure Gel. It used to be so easy (didn't require ANY cooking) that I put up 14 flats of strawberries in that low sugar freezer jam one year. Then Sure Gel changed the formula so that you had to add water and cook part of the juice with the water before adding the strawberries. I stopped making it once I ran out my stash of the old formula low sugar Sure Gel. I wrote Sure Gel and told them that I didn't like the change in their formula because it made the strawberry jam taste like strawberry jello when you added water to it, but they said people preferred a firmer set on the jam. It has been more than 10 years since I made the strawberry freezer jam and people at my office still ask me about it. My grandmother used to make freezer strawberry jam using Certo. I have tried that, but it is really sweet - good fresh strawberry flavor - but really sweet.
