Summer Jam’n: Low Sugar/No Sugar Organic Jam Making

It’s 85 degrees in my house (because we do without A/C, but that’s another story!).  Despite the heat I’m still in the kitchen because there’s nothing like a slice of fresh, whole wheat bread topped with nut butter and homemade jam.  Yum-o!  Today I made a double batch of organic raspberry and a single batch of organic marionberry.

Normally, we make a low sugar jam recipe, but that still takes about 4 cups of sugar!  This year, I opted to make a no sugar variety and a lower sugar variety.  Our resulting jams are tart, tangy and fabulous (not to mention better for your health!).  Here’s how to make jam without a canner, because it’s not so cost effective if you have to buy expensive tools!
