This is a great way to save your summer berries without having to add sugar. It's not a super sweet jam, but we love the flavor. I try to use organic ingredients where possible. Ingredients:

2 cups crushed strawberries |
1 cup unsweetened apple cider or 1 cup apple juice |
1 (49 g) package no sugar needed pectin |
1/2-1 cup maple syrup or 1/2-1 cup honey, do not exceed 1 cup |
Directions:
1. Crush berries seperatly, then measure two cups of each.
2. Pour into a large stainless steel pot.
3. Add apple cider or juice. Add pectin, stir until disolved.
4. Over high heat bring to a full rolling boil stirring frequently.
5. Add maple syrup or honey, stirring constanly bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
6. Boil hard for 3 minutes, remove from heat.
7. Stir foam down and wait for a minute or two then stir again, remove any remaining foam with a large metal spoon.
8. Ladle into clean hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head space and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
