Kaiya loves pear jam. She doesn't let me make her a PB sandwich with anything other than her pear jam. Ready for the bad news? I used the last of the pear jam last week. Even worse news? Cirdan and I saw some pectin in the store a few months ago that said you could use it and make the jam sugar free. I never realized how much sugar it takes to make jam until I started canning it last year. So, we decided to try it. I spent about a half day making jam and also canned some pears. What is the bad news? You probably guessed it...the sugar free jam was NASTY! It was really sour. Now we have no more pear jam and I am too lazy to buy another box of pears to make more. I guess she will have to learn to like the peach jam that I canned last year. Note to self...no more sugar free canning.

Yah, sugar free canning doesn't sound good to me either...so sad about your try though- we live and learn!
