At the height of blueberry season, you'll find me making many jars of this savory jam for friends and family. Not only is it sugar-free, this jam is cholesterol-free besides. —Fran Boise, Marion, New York

You can freeze this if you want to make more or if you don't think you can eat it all in 3 weeks. Easy to thaw and just as good!

Was really good and so easy. I like the fact that it is sugar free.

Very good, I reduced the apple juice concentrate so it would be less sweet due to the previous reviews. It is perfect

I am not sure about the apple juice concentrate for a diabetic. As far as I know they are packed with sugar of some sort. I would prefer a recipe using Splenda. Be careful and check the concentrate before assuming it is sugar free.

This is a good recipe and I enjoyed it. However, it is NOT sugar-free, so diabetics beware. Apple juice concentrate has PLENTY of sugar in it. The very word "concentrate" for fruit juices denotes "sugar added" because sugar is used in the concentration process to aid in drying/evaporation. That is why frozen OJ is so sweet.

Gelatin IS an animal product.

I agree that to say this jam is "cholesterol free" is redundant. I found it to be too sweet due to the apple juice concentrate.

I haven't made this yet, but it looks like a great recipe. Does anyone know if this can be frozen???????

Cholesterol is found in animal products and is not included in jams. Sugar-free blueberry jam sounds good, but it is silly to tout it as cholesterol-free.
