Sets Jam with low or no sugar!

Low Methyl Ester Pectin:

Low Methyl Ester is a type of pectin that needs the addition of calcium in the form of monocalcium phosphate to form a gel. The advantage of using this pectin over Classic Pectin or Jamsetta is that you do not need to add sugar to get it to set. You can add sugar to taste, which could be a lot less than in traditional recipes, or you could add an alternative sweetener, such as honey or stevia. I regularly use this pectin to make low-sugar jams with only 200 to 400 grams of sugar per kilogram of fruit, or no-sugar jams where I use stevia or xylitol instead of sugar with great results.

Calcium Water (monocalcium phosphate) Ca(H2PO4)2:

Monocalcium phosphate is a salt derived from minerals found in nature. Both calcium and phosphate are vital to our health and well-being. Calcium phosphate is essential for skeletal development and in fact, your bones are made of calcium phosphate. Calcium phosphate is also added to foods to boost their calcium content and is used to make calcium supplements. In jam and jelly making it is used to add the calcium necessary to form a gel when using low Methyl Ester pectin.

 How To Make Calcium Water:

The calcium powder comes with your pectin.  Put 1 teaspoon of your calcium powder and 250 ml of filtered water in a small, clear jar with a lid. Shake well before using. Store in the refrigerator between uses. Calcium water lasts many months in the refrigerator and can be frozen for extended storage.

Trying to create a sugarless jam has been a bit like the Holy Grail. I came across this particular pectin when I searched online. The cane sugar free jams and jellies made since I purchased this product have been outstanding. Thanks for making these available.

Wonderful product

I’m so pleased to be able to make no sugar jams that taste amazing. I use xylitol in place of raw sugar and can enjoy jam without all the sugar. I have been making jams for years and this is a sugar revolution for me. My kids love it too. The product is so easy to use.

I have made two batches of jam with this pectin and can really recommend it. My very low sugar jam set perfectly and the taste is much improved with minimal cooking time.
