- Bottle into cold, sterilized jars and store in the fridge or heat-process by waterbathing using the hot-pack method for 10 minutes
Notes
Keep no-sugar jams in the fridge or freezer, and only make small quantities because they don’t keep. If you want to store them for longer than 2 weeks, you should heat-process the jars afterward by waterbathing. Often no- and low-sugar jams are sweetened with apple juice and have no added sugar, although strictly speaking they shouldn’t be sold as jam unless they contain a certain percentage of sugar.
Note that no-sugar jams do contain fruit sugars, so they are not suitable for diabetics.
