I never knew I could make jam without some fancy equiptment. This is about making it in a pot on the stove and the best part, it's made with stevia, not other potentially bad-for-you sugar substitutes. This shows just how easy it is! The repeating of the basic ingredients aside (1/2 c stevia and 1 TB pectin), there are a lot of interesting ideas as to jams to make.  Some recipies however call for a cup of fruit, and others for one piece of fruit (eg one peach), but I'm guessing that 1-1 1/2 cups would be just right. I am not sure that 1/2 cup of stevia is appropriate for all recipies though. I use Truvia, and 1/2 cup is equivalent to over 1 cup of sugar.  Sure, most regular recipies for jam call for 1:1 fruit to sugar, but if I have some very sweet peaches or strawberries, I will hold back on the stevia and taste to see where I'm at before adding that much sweetener. The best part of this book is that it gave me confidence to make jam with stevia. I made strawberry  and it turned out great!  I am experimenting with combination of fruits as these recipies suggest. Nice book. Thanks
