You will be surprised how this raspberry jam that is refined sugar-free, packaged pectin-free is so delicious! We make our own pectin from the lemons though to help it stick together.

Can I change the strawberries to raspberries?
To other kinds of fruit as well – like blueberries or peaches for example.
Can I make it without the psyllium husks?
Thanks for your answer, Janey

Janey, I am sure you could try other fruits as well…..let us know how it works. You need the psyllium husks to keep it from being runny.
Diana, if psyllium husks thicken , why use pectin , thank you
Hi, I appreciate a jam recipe without sugar. Could I use chia seeds instead of psyllium husks?
Thank you.
Lynn, try is with the chia seeds and let me know how it works. Seems like it should but you may need to experiment a little with quantities.
I have made this using chia seeds to thicken it. Works great. I also made prickly pear jam, using much of same ingredients!
Thank you Debra for the update. I thought it would, just had not tried it yet. Love to see a picture of your prickly pear jam with the recipe. Maybe we could post it here for others?
Could I use these similar ingredients for marmalade? I always make my own but of course..with sugar. Would very much like to try without the sugar! Suggestions would be very much appreciated!
