What are the ingredients in fruit spread/jam/jelly?

Healthy_Hannah483

I really want to make my own fruit spread because I don't want all the added ingredients with all the sugar, calories, etc. So......what do you put in fruit spread besides, well....fruit? Any good recipes?
Thanks!

Um well sadly jam is just sugar pectin and the mashed up fruit. If you want to do a low calorie thing, I guess you could make a simple syrup with splenda and water and add the mashed fruit to that?? Not sure what your opinions are on "fake" sugars. But not really a way to get away from the sugar too much. :indifferent:
