Hey M & M,

I'm confused on the amount of sugar! Is it supposed to be "1 3/4 pounds of sugar, about 3 cups"?

Happens to the best of us, lol! Personally, it happens to me all the time, on paper and out loud. Is there a word for when you make a typo while talking?🤷🏻😂😂 Can't wait to try this!

What is the minimum amount of sugar that you can use in these jams? You seem to consistently recommend 3 cups in this series for 2 pints of jam. Would 2 cups work? Would 1 cup work? How much sugar is needed for it to act as a preservative?

the sugar is a thickener and a preservative so its gonna depend a on the fruit. you might be able to get away with 2 cups if you're using a fruit with a good amount pectin then you should be fine but with only 1 cup of sugar you're basically going to end up with a fruity soup.

Have you all tried or tested these jam recipes in a water bath canner? I have a small fridge and can most of the preserves I make. Thanks!
