NO-SUGAR RASPBERRY JAM
I developed this recipe for a friend who has diabetes. She complained that most diabetic jams had sweeteners added leaving a strange aftertaste. Fresh fruit, when in season, is naturally sweet. To make jam, you don't need to add sugar. A little agar-agar and lemon will help the cooked fruit thicken to make a spreadable fruit for toast, sandwiches, or cheeses. It will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. This recipe will work with all forest fruits.

Steps:
- Combine lemon juice and agar-agar powder in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
- Heat raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries start to break up, 5 to 10 minutes. Use a masher to crush raspberries into a smooth consistency, but do not liquefy. Turn off the heat.
- Stir thickened lemon-agar-agar paste into the saucepan with the raspberries and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

RASPBERRY JAM WITHOUT PECTIN
This is another 'lucky' situation when things turn for better. While making my raspberry jam, I totally forgot to add pectin. The result: exactly the same that if I did add some. Easier, simpler, and less risky than adding pectin to it.

The intense raspberry flavor of this jam makes it a longtime favorite. Warming the sugar beforehand keeps the jam boiling evenly and ensures success.

Steps:
- 1. Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven for 15 minutes. (Warm sugar dissolves better.)
- 2. Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing berries with a potato masher as they heat. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 3. Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil until mixture will form a gel (see tips, below), about 5 minutes.
- 4. Ladle into sterilized jars and process as directed for Shorter Time Processing Procedure .
- Tip: To make a small boiling-water canner, tie several screw bands together with string or use a small round cake rack in the bottom of a large covered Dutch oven. Be sure the pan is high enough for 2 inches (5 cm) of water to cover the jars when they are sitting on the rack.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh raspberries. Frozen raspberries can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the raspberries with a fork or potato masher.
- Be sure to cook the jam until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. This will help prevent it from spoiling.
- If you want a sweeter jam, you can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Store the jam in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the jam for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
No-sugar raspberry jam is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the taste of raspberries all year long. It's perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or pancakes, or using in your favorite recipes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own no-sugar raspberry jam that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
