Pomona's Universal Pectin Saskatoon Jam

I have been looking for alternatives to the high sugar pectin I have been using. I just hate adding 7 cups of sugar to 5 cups of fruit, so I was happy to discover Pomona's Universal Pectin. The pectin in Pomona's doesn't require sugar to set, it sets with calcium.

Pomona's costs more than the usual pectin, but it also makes 2 to 4 settings of jam. With the smaller amounts of sugar,  I think the cost of Pomona and Certo's about the same.

I tried my first batch of Pomona's using Saskatoons. I just used the blueberry recipes. Instead of sugar, I used honey. The resulting jam was delicious.
